On a beautiful morning Rupert the Bear outside as he is not good looks out where he walks. He stumbles, loses the consciousness and becomes awake near Virginia City. The bear looks around what self away and sees a horse stand. He walks to it. The horse has not been branded only well saddled up. Rupert climbs on it and rides direction the city.
Rupert has never been there yet and it appears him well an amusing city to remain there for a a few days. He stops by a hotel and rises from his horse. Suddenly he is down walked by a notorious cowboy.
“Can’t you look out where you walk rotten bear? ”, is the comment of Jake Willis.
Rupert is as bewildered that he nothing back knowledge to say. Hoss Cartwright and Candy Canaday see the whole scene and they walk off on.
“Can you well against a small bear? ”, asks Candy calm.
“He walked in the way. Besides, what you do have do with it Canaday? ”, asks Jake.
“You must take someone of your own seize. Not a small bear”, was the fierce reaction of Hoss.
Jake want him hit but Hoss is more fast. Jake notices that he is now defeated and goes away. Candy and Hoss take care of Rupert who has broken his ankle.
“Have your somewhere pain? How are you called actually? ”, asks Candy calm.
“I am Rupert the Bear. My left ankle does hurt. How is your name actually? ”, asks Rupert who has defeated his shyness.
“I am Candy Canaday and that is Hoss Cartwright. We will you to Doc Martin bring. Hoss, you can carry him? ”, asks the foreman.
Hoss nods, lifts Rupert careful on and brings him to the practice of Doc Paul Martin.
“This bear became by Jake Willis down walked without a simple reason. His left ankle does hurt”, says Candy.
“Just lay him on the investigation table. Then I will take a look at it”, says Doc.
Rupert becomes careful on the table gelegd and Hoss and Candy get the requestto wait outside.
“Your ankle is only broken guy”, says Paul after he the ankle has examined.
“I am called Rupert the Bear”says Rupert experienced.
“Rupert, I will set your ankle in plaster. You have already a spot to sleep? ”, asks Paul meanwhile he sets the ankle of Rupert in the plaster.
The bear shakes of no and says, “I am just here. I know only you, Candy Canaday and Hoss Cartwright.”
“The Cartwrights are good people. They live on the Ponderosa. Perhaps you can you that well remain until your ankle is better”, answers Paul.
He took two crutches.
Then he goes outside and says to Hoss and Candy, “You may him take along.”
“Rupert we take you with to our house. We are with the vehicle. Firstly we go the supply get and then you and your horse. Meanwhile he can remain here Doc? ”, asks Hoss.
That can and they go their supply get at the grocer.
After a while ride they back to the Ponderosa with Rupert Bear. He has very been aroused curiosity to the other Cartwrights.
Soon reach they the ranch where Ben and Little Joe wait on them.
“What are you late boys”, says Ben as Hoss parks the vehicle for the ranch house.
“We found these bear that was walked down by Jake Willis. Pa, Joe, these is Rupert the Bear. Rupert, these are pa and my little brother Little Joe”says Hoss.
“Hello Rupert. Welcome at the Ponderosa”, says Ben.
With a swing the bear gets put on the ground. Candy gives his boss the crutches for the bear. Supporting on his crutches Rupert and Ben enter the house. In the meantime Hoss, Little Joe and Candy bring in the supplies.
In the living room Ben introduces Rupert to Hop Sing, the cook.
“Hop Sing, Rupert remains there with us until his ankle is healed”, says Ben.
The guest room becomes in order for Rupert the Bear.
Lying on the bank falls the bear in sleep for a few hours.
When the three boys something too loudly come in says Ben immediately against them, “Calm boys. Rupert sleeps on the settee.”
The foreman says, “Then we certainly must be calm.”
He looks at the bear and begins to smile. He likes him well. Through the buzz Rupert wakes up. Firsytly he rubs the sleep from his eye. Then the bear looks around being amazed.
He asks the others, “Where am I?”
“You are on the Ponderosa and you fell on the bank in sleep. We go as at table. How does this bear feel himself? ”, asks Ben him.
“Equip Mr Cartwright”says Rupert meanwhile he goes to sit.
With a curious look, he looks the living room around.
Then Hop Sing calls wound up, “Food gets cold if Cartwrights not come at table. Hop Sing cook not for for nothing!”
“We come Hop Sing. Come Rupert. We go at table”, says Ben calm.
Calm Rupert crutches and he are takes stumbles to the dining room.
At table Rupert looks at with large eye and with even large amazement what Hoss all works in. The others notice that.
Candy says, “He always eat so much.”
“Where do you leave that all? ”, asks Rupert amazed Hoss.
“Normally in my stomach”, is his dry answer.
Rupert knows of amazement nothing more to say and eat silent a complete warm meal.
After the meal go they back to the living room. The Cartwrights notice that their small guest already begins to feel at home a little bit.
Rupert says on a given moment against Little Joe, “About why are you called actually Little Joe? You are not that small.”
“I am the youngest. That’s why they call me Little Joe”, lays Little Joe out.
“Sometimes he is well small”, laughs Candy.
“You hold your mouth now but Candy! ”, reacts Little Joe a little bit incensed.
Then Candy gets a smack of Rupert.
“You may laugh at Little Joe but what cowboy is to be called there now Candy? ”, asks the bear the foreman.
Now that is it the turn at Little Joe to laugh.
Candy looks at Rupert and says, “I tell yourself tomorrow well how I got that name.”
“No, now that”, says Rupert with determined voice.
Everybody looks at Candy thus there stretches for him nothing else on than to tell the story.
“Well Rupert, I grew on in an army basis. My father was the large Canaday. I was the small Canaday thus named they me Candy. You understand? ”, is the question of the foreman.
Rupert says, “I find the but a strong story. I believe there nothing of.”
Candy looks the bear at and asks, “Do you want to ssay that I lie?”
Rupert nods to hunt him on the cupboard. Ben Hoss and Little Joe have him through and play the game along.
Candy looks his boss at and asks, “Mr Cartwright this bear begins to feel himself something surplus at home here on the ranch. What we must do about that?”
“Nothing. Rupert remains here until are broken only cure is. Because it really calm is on the ranch I give you the task to hold him busy. You are the foreman so….”, answers Ben.
The foreman just looks at the bear and says than with a deep desire, “Good. As gentleman Bear wants it.”
“Well………”says Rupert and he waits on a reaction.
The Cartwrights have trouble to hold their laugh in and Candy sits on hot char.
“Well then”, says the bear after a while silence.
That night sleep Rupert like a baby. The next morning firstly he doesn’t know where he is but as he sees his broken ankle Rupert knows it. He washes and gets dressed. On his crutches Rupert goes stumbling downstairs. The Cartwrights are already busy with breakfast.
“Morning Rupert”, says Ben.
“Also good morning Mr. Cartwright. Is there still something left or has Hoss already eaten up everything? ”, asks Rupert troubling.
Everybody begins to laugh.
Hoss says protesting, “There are well what over for you.”
The bear goes to sit down and begins at his breakfast.
“After the breakfast I will let you see some of the Ponderosa Rupert”, says Ben after a while. To that has Rupert well ears.
“I will the do Mr. Cartwright? I really must occuppy him? ”, asks Candy on that moment. The rancher answers, “Good. You may possible the carriage use.”
The foreman looks Rupert at and the bear nods.
After the breakfast Rupert Bear and Candy leave to look at the entire ranch. The bear looks out his eye. When it is about lunch time Candy stops the carriage on a very calm spot.
He says, “Rupert, here stop we to eat. Or have your no appetite? I in every case well.”
“I have also well appetite. Can you help me from the carriage? ”, asks Rupert.
“Now will I do that? ”, asks Candy troubling.
He jumps from the carriage and takes the picnic basket that has given Hop Sing.
Rupert throws it over someone else bow and asks then awful experienced, “Mr. Canaday, do you want to set me on the ground please?”
“Go we now that way as begin? ”, asks Candy on his turn.
Yet he sets Rupert on the ground.
Suddenly hears Candy rustling coming from the bushes. He lays his finger on the mouth of Rupert and alluded him to go lie. That does the bear. Candy takes his gun and goes also lie. It remains quietly for a while. Then they both hear hear loud laughter. Hoss and Little Joe come forth. They hard must laugh about the reaction of Candy.
“I could have shot you dead. Why are you here? ”, asks Candy wound up.
“Calm down. We were inquisitively how you Rupert the ranch show. But you are holding normally a picnic. You have an appetite Hoss? ”, asks Little Joe.
“You bet. We may remain for the lunch Rupert? ”, asks the second son of the host of Rupert.
The bear nods. Candy a protest but he hear let want know all a way to gewt back at them “Hoss, Candy works really for you? ”, asks Rupert after a while.
“Yes, what do you mean? ”, asks Hoss amazed.
Candy feels the shower already hanging and protests, “Shut your mouth Rupert the Bear!”
The bear ignores him and says, “Candy is teasing me.”
“That was to be expected of him. But he not means it. Or surely Mr. Canaday? ”, asks Hoss. Candy smiles and shakes from no. It is very clear that Rupert has made new friends.
After the lunch Candy and Rupert pull further leaving behind the both brothers Cartwright. To get back at them the foreman has taken their horses Chub and Cochise behind the carriage until they are somewhat further. After that Candy hitches the horses in front the first horses.
That evening Candy and Rupert are home for a long time again as Hoss and Little Joe come walking on the property.
“As that Canaday is there and he asks what we did this afternoon I murder him on to spot”, growls Hoss from the ground of his heart.
His brother agrees with him.
Inside Candy asks Ben, “I think not that Hoss and Joe come yet. Meanwhile we will go at table?”
“You are right. Otherwise the food becomes cold. You come Rupert? ”, asks the rancher.
He is on the height of the plan that Candy and Rupert together devised. Rupert nods. The
three go to the dining room.
On the moment that they want to begin to eat come Hoss and Little Joe in.
“Hoss, Joseph, you are just on time for the food”, Ben says amused as he sees them.
Candy and Rupert look as innocent possible as both brothers at table come.
“We are as late because that two took our horses along”, says Hoss angry.
“Then had you with Joe must not creep up on us”, is the reaction of Candy.
To forget his crossness Hoss begins at his meal at the same time. The other do that also.
On a morning Rupert sits outside on the porch with Ben at the table. His sons and Candy are for it busy.
“Joe, you can me learn lasso throw? ”, asks Rupert Little Joe.
“That want I you with great pleasure learn”says Little Joe.
“Eh Rupert, Joe cannot do it very well. Consequently perhaps I better can learn you”, Hoss suggests.
“Now how can you know that? ”, asks Little Joe awfully incensed.
“Normally because you are younger little brother”, is the reaction of Hoss.
“I will learn you it and better much than the both brothers Cartwright”, promises Candy the bear.
But also on this there is comment to hear.
“You hold to your work Canaday. For Rupert must learn it good”, reacts Little Joe.
Rupert and Ben look at each other and Ben goes in. There in his office writes the rancher on a paper,
Hereby I,
Benjamin Cartwright, declare officially that I personally will teach our guest Rupert the Bear how to work with a lasso.
Signed,
Ben Cartwright.
After this he goes with it to outside and says then against his small guest, “This is for you.” Rupert reads it and votes to.
“Do they always as against each other? ”, asks he as Ben has put the paper safely away.
“They all want to make an impression on you. But they let you never down”, the rancher explains.
Then he addresses the boys and asks, “As you as remain quarrel that work never gets finished. What must this bear not think of your behavior?”
“It will happen no longer pa”, says Hoss.
Also Candy and Little Joe promise that. Ben gives his youngest guest a wink meanwhile the boys what shamed continue with their work. But they do it this timew silently. Rupert must laugh about this and Ben also. Then Hop Sing comes outside with four cups coffee and a cup milk.
“Hop Sing Mr Cartwright drink do bring”says Hops Sing.
The cook set the tray on table and goes to the kitchen again.
“Thanks Hop Sing. Boys, if you seek no quarrel then is there coffee”says Ben.
The three boys come immediately to the porch for their coffeebreak.
Candy looks at as once his small friend only says nothing.
The bear notices that and asks, “Have I something on from you?”
“No, must that than? ”, asks Candy on his turn.
“It will really not fit me. About which will I attract of you then? ”, asks Rupert.
The Cartwrights not must very laugh round these reaction what Candy amusing finds.
“I get you well little one”, promises Candy.
“Pa, I believe that you address must our foreman once strand. He begins to get talks again”, says Little Joe then.
“I hear it. I will pass it on to Hop Sing that it tonight a dessert less necessary is. Four instead of five”, says Ben very serious.
He looks at his foreman.
“Are you then way tonight that it but four desserts be necessary Mr. Cartwright? ”, asks Candy amazed.
“I not am away necessary tonight. What we with it you will mean then well brands, Candy. I am silent there over”, answers the rancher calmed down.
Everybody except of Candy has through what it going is but nobody wants him explain what is going on.
That afternoon is Candy by chance in the Silver Dollar Saloon. At the bar, he drinks calm a well deserved beer as Jake approaches him.
“Hey Canaday, you’re the one I must have”, says Jake and he hits Candy on the shoulder.
The foreman turns around and asks suspicious, “I want nothing with you to make have! Walk down a a small bear down walk.”
“That rotten bear walked in the way! Where he is besides? You know that according to me damn well”says Jake.
Candy looks him then at and says, “That I not know well but that go I well at you tell.
Chuck really on and go pestering your mother difficult cases with your abuses!”
Jake becomes badly and screams almost against the foreman, “As you not quick tells for which that rotten bear is I hit your eyes yet bluer than they already be!”
“For that must a fellow come, no after paper. But I will you say where he is. That bear is in Reno. You are satisfied now? ”, asks the foreman calm.
“Yes very satisfied Mr. Canaday. I wish yourself yet a very pleasant continuation of this day”, says Jake.
He leave the saloon meanwhile Candy by himself denkt,‘Creepl!’ He makes his glass empty and goes then bavk to the ranch.
On the Ponderosa tells the foreman Ben what has happened to him at the saloon. The rancher doesn’t really like it but he can understand it though.
That evenings Rupert hears the crying of a coyote. He hears this for the first time and asks, “What is that for crying?”
“That is the crying of a coyote. You must there no meet for they are dangerous”, Ben expalins.
Although he within is feels Rupert really a fearful feeling come up.
Candy says, “Rupert here within you can nothing come over. We are there also.”
He and the bear go to a window. In the distance they see the coyote cry. Rupert is now reassured.
Quite later begins the slowly but certainly to rain. The rain clashes on the roof and streams via the window to below.
When Rupert sleeps says Ben, “I make myself see to round the safety of Rupert. Who knows how dangerous that Jake Willis is.”
“He walked that small bear deliberately down”, says Hoss wound up.
“Tomorrow go I to the city Clem to ask if he has more news”said the rancher.
The next morning is Ben in the city as the sheriff gets to him.
He asks, “Ben, is Rupert the Bear still on the Ponderosa?”
Ben answers with a question, “Temporary yet well. What do you mean Clem? He is sought?”
“No, not in that sense. But someone has stolen his horse from thelivery stable”, answers sheriff Clem Foster.
“Rupert told that Jake Willis him had down walked through which he be single broke. Candy and Hoss were there witness of”, says Ben worried.
“Jake is a large onruststoker. Certainly by whose are smaller than he”, says the sheriff. “Candy had it yet with him at the stick in the Silver Dollar yesterdayafternoon”, says Ben.
Clem know also how dangerous Jake is and can be. He goes out about that to his office an arrest order for Jake Willis to write. Only yet nobody know that Jake quickly behind end and bolt will sit.
On a sunny noon Ben learns his young guest lasso throw. Rupert learns it very quick.
“Mr. Cartwright, we will a fun take out with Candy? ”, asks Rupert.
“What i your plan? ”, will the rancher know.
“Because he me as troubles want I him catch with the lasso”, lays Rupert out.
“Do but. Look that is Candy by chance”, says Ben as they the foreman see work.
Rupert throws his lasso with a beautiful throw over the foreman off. Candy stands quietly and he know immediately who has caught him.
“Rupert Bear, late me loose. Now that at the same time!”, orders Candy fierce.
“As you me no longer troubles”says the bear with the Cartwrights as testify.
Candy asks, “Good. I will you real no longer trouble meanwhile you yet in the plaster sit. You want with that agreement go?”
Rupert votes closed and he let him go.
Quite later comes Jake collide with. He directs his gun on Candy and calls, “View just these side on Canaday!”
That does Candy only yet before Jake can shoot becomes his gun the air in swung by the lasso of Rupert Bear. Through here can Hoss and Little Joe Jake overpower and tie up. After that take they him with to the sheriff.
Through the overmeestering of Jake Willis Rupert a hard fall and he makes loses because of this the consciousness. After a short time the bear back again in Nutwood only he is not good can walk. Fortunately finds his father him. He brings him to the hospital. There the ankle of Rupert gets set in the plaster. The young bear may per wheelchair to house with father Bear. On the way to house tells Rupert over his polite adventure in Virginia City.
