As Clinker attempts to rid himself of the bothersome insect by scratching and rubbing against a tree, Pete proves to be quite clever and difficult to shake.

spot enjoying the warm feeling.He was just about asleep when he thought he heard something.His earsperked up and he listened-but everything was quiet.He started to doze offagain when suddenly  \nhe heard the smallest,softest voice saying.  \n“My name is Pete,I'm a little fea.I sit in your earWhere you can't catch me.\"  \nClinker shook his head.  \nHe could not believe what he was hearing.  \nHe hit at his ear with his back foot.  \n\"There,\"he said,  \n\"that should take care of any  \nrude flea that thinks he can sit  \nin MY ear.\"  \nHe was beginning to relax once again  \nuntil he heard:  \n\"Ha,ha,old ClinkerI'm still in your ear:You can't lose meCause I'm staying right here.\"  \nClinker was getting very angry.\"I'll show you,\"he thought.\"I’m a  \nvery smart dog.Much smarter than that little flea.\"Clinker jumped up and  \nheaded for the nearest tree and started rubbing his head.  \nHe rubbed and scraped his ear so hard against the big tree trunk that hethought the skin would rub off.  \nHe sat down and waited and listened.Just as he began to think he wasrid of that tiresome flea,he heard:  \n“Nice try,old Clinker,I enjoyed the ride.  \nBut you'll have to do better;To get ME off your hide.\"","cbCaif6i4sOd9Ncw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif6i4sOd9Ncw","pdf",1122831,"English","# The Meeting in the Ear\n## Clinker's Attempted Remedies\n## Pete's Persistent
