One day a small brown bear was walking slowly through the
woods. He was sad because he had lost his soft teddy.
He lost it yesterday when he was running quickly through the
dark wood. He had been jumping over small stones, big logs
and wet puddles.
He was now looking for his teddy. He looked under big
bushes, tiny twigs and behind tall trees. He lifted up heavy
stones and moved tiny pebbles, but still no teddy.
After lots of looking he saw a very wet and dirty teddy sat in a
big puddle. The small bear was very happy and skipped home
with a huge smile on his face.
