[Papa is still fussing about his pumpkin "The Giant" being in 1st place. He mutters about his pumpkin rival and opponent Farmer Ben who has won the pumpkin contest 10 or more years already before Papa even entered. That is, as he says...!]
MY PUMPKIN --THE GIANT-- IT CAN BEAT THE PANTS OFF FROM ANY OF FARMER BEN'S PUMPKINS! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PUMPKIN CONTEST!
[But Mama is concerned about Papa's "fixation" with first place. That is, as she says...!]
Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and not about beating the pants off someone, especially with your best friend.
[half chuckles] HA!
[After Papa Bear says this --with a half chuckle-- he next says...!]
[roars in frustration] THERE ARE NO FRIENDS IN PUMPKIN GROWING CONTESTS!
[Indeed, for 10 years in a row, Farmer Ben has gotten first place with his pumpkin while Mrs. Mc Grizz --for 10 years-- has gotten second place. And Papa --with the Bear family's pumpkin "The Giant"-- wants to beat his rivals --Farmer Ben and Mrs. McGrizz-- this year. That is, not knowing that "The Giant" is going to go in 3rd place every year. But --despite that-- Papa still hopes his pumpkin --The Giant-- is going to be first or second place this year. And Papa still fusses about it. He is too obsessed about the prize.]
