The Pear in the Pear Tree

John and Jane are out walking when they spy a lovely, juicy pear high up in a pear tree. They fetch a ladder and Jane climbs to the top, only to fly through the air into a pond when John can't hold the ladder steady. Eventually, with the help of a sleeping bird, they manage to reach the pear and to share it happily.
