2- Baby Bear's Story



My name is Baby Bear. I live with my parents, Papa Bear and Mama Bear, in a little house in a big forest. We live simply and happily together. But yesterday our peaceful lives were upset by an intruder.
Mama made our breakfast oatmeal as usual. And, as usual, we went for a walk until the oatmeal was cool enough to eat. Papa picked berries for the oatmeal. Mama picked flowers for the table. I ran and jumped and played.
When we got back home, the front door was unlocked. “I'm sure that I locked the door,” Mama said.
“Let's move cautiously,” said Papa. “There may be an intruder in the house.”
We crept into the house. We could see that someone had been eating our oatmeal. Mama and Papa growled that somebody had nibbled at their bowls. My bowl was completely empty. “Somebody has eaten my oatmeal all up,” I wailed.
“That's okay, Baby Bear,” said Mama. “I'll fix you a nice new bowl of oatmeal. We will put berries on it.”
I smiled at Mama. Then I went over to sit in my special chair to wait for my oatmeal. That's when I noticed my chair was all broken to pieces. “Somebody has broken my chair,” I cried.
“That's okay, Baby Bear,” said Papa. “After breakfast, I'll fix your chair. It will be as good as new.”
I smiled at Papa. “I think we should look for this intruder,” I said.
“Good thinking, Baby Bear,” said my parents. We started searching the house.
I was the one who found her. “Look,” I called to my parents. “She's sleeping in my bed.”
The three of us gazed down at the sleeping blond girl. She seemed harmless enough.
“She was probably hungry,” I whispered. “I'm sure she didn't mean to break my chair. Maybe she would like to play with me when she wakes up.”
She must have heard my voice. Her eyelids fluttered open. She looked up and saw the three of us standing over her.
I smiled at her, but that seemed to frighten her. She leaped from the bed and raced out the door. She ran into the woods as fast as she could.
I felt sad because I really did want to play with her. Then Mama Bear reminded me that she was going to make me some breakfast. Papa Bear reminded me that he was going to fix my chair. I gave them each a hug. Then I sat down on the porch to wait for my oatmeal.
