Well, it's from a Russian fairy tale:
A bear had snatched a little girl from her village and made her live in 
his den. One day the girl invented how to run away. She cooked a lot of 
cakes and asked the bear to carry them to her mother. The bear agreed. 
But at the last moment the girl threw the cakes out and crawled in the 
bear's rucksack herself. The tale told us that many times the bear felt 
tired and he said, "Now I'll sit on a stump and eat a cake!" But the 
girl said to him from the rucksack, "I am sitting on the roof and I see 
you! Don't sit on a stamp, don't eat my cakes!"

In short, I keep watch over you! ;-)

Bye, Lee!
