Once upon a time the was a old oriental cabinet maker named Chan.  Chan
worked exclusively in teak in a dirt floored shop behind his hovel.
One fine day the emperor commisioned a large cabinet.  Chan worked
all day on the cabinet, then went home for the night.  When he returned
the next morning, the cabinet was gone.  The only trace of an intruder was
footprints of a small child.  So he started another cabinet.
And it disappeared.  Again only the footprints.  Well, this time
Chan has a plan.  He builds the cabinet and instead of going home,
he hides in the shop.  About ten after 2, Chan hears the door slowly
open and the patter of small feet.  He jumps out, hoists his torch
and sees a big bear (with childs hands and feet) lofting the cabinet
and heading for the door.  Chan yells  "STOP boy footed bear with
teaks of Chan!!".
