Here it is: One day, Mrs. Bear went to the market and left her four little cubs, Bruno, Boffin, Bobo, and Bilda, alone in the house. Of course, the four got into mischief! When Mrs. Bear returned, she found a broken honeypot and a big puddle of honey on the floor. "Who broke the honeypot?" demanded Mrs. Bear. "I didn't do it," cried Bruno. "Bobo did it," claimed Boffin. "Bilda did it," said Bobo. "Bobo's lying!" exclaimed Bilda. Three little bears are lying. One is telling the truth. Who is telling the truth? And which bear broke the honeypot? Good Luck! Also, you have to say HOW you got your answer, or it will not count!
