Hobo could only wait for the sure fate that would come. CLAWS hesitated, as Hobo looked him directly in the eye. Then sudden recognition came to Hobo, 

    "I know who you are. You are Teddy Bear." CLAWS didn't answer, but he looked puzzled. Hobo could only say, "Teddy, I love you." 'But why?' Hobo thought, What has happened to Teddy Bear?' 

    Then as he watched in amazement, Teddy began to shrink. Finally Teddy Bear was his old size, looking very confused.

    Santa entered the room, "Am I too late?" A broad smile overcame his face, "Hobo, I knew you could do it. CLAWS, or I should say Teddy Bear, has opened his heart to your love. Perhaps we will never know how he became CLAWS. But we have no time now, it is Christmas Eve and we have to get all of you home at once. And I have a lot of work to catch up on."

    Teddy Bear was very silent now, he looked tired. Hobo and Teddy followed Santa to go find McBeard who was "getting his team ready," according to Santa.
