everyone needs a bear. under the bed, in the playroom, under the chairs… nope not here
TRANSCRIPT
I walked with hope to my friend Claire’s house. I knew she would agree with me about my need of my dear lost bear.
But when I got there, I was surprised to hear her praise her new Barbie doll to heights of
glory in comparison to any stuffed toys.
No one was searching for my bear, no one was agreeing with me about how important it was for me, I felt lost, not just my bear.
I decided I could walk to my grandma’s house, she always knew how to cheer me up. The thought made me happy. I skipped
and ran and went to grandma’s house.
She hugged me and kissed me when she saw me. I was in high spirits already. I almost forgot I lost my teddy bear.
Then I told her the story of my lost bear. She told me that if I answer her one
question she would give me a surprise.
This was what I was trying to tell everybody but no one had heard me earlier. I recited
out the answer with enthusiasm,
“Teddy bears are good for warm hugs when you are feeling blue! When you are lonely
and need a hug your bear will comfort you.
Your bear is your best friend, and always there for you. It’s good for play time, dress
up and picnics too!
She smiled and said,” oh, how true. Everyone needs a teddy bear, you are my
teddy bear and I have found yours”
She pulled out her surprise from behind her back. There was my cute, cuddly teddy bear,
my dearest companion, my best friend!
