"The Bear is capable of some 

 degree of instruction, there are few 

 but have seen it dance in awkward 

 measure upon its hind feet, to the 

 voice or instrument of its leader ; and 

 it must be confessed, that the dancer is 

 is often found to be the best performer 

 of the two. I am told that it is first 

 taught to perform in this manner by 

 setting it upon hot plates of iron and 

 then playing to it while in this uneasy 

 situation." Oliver Goldsmith
