The Story of Two Bears

two teddy bears

by Karen Dunham



Once upon a time, in the far away land of Seattle, a bear appeared from a hole in the wall.  His name was Traveling Bear, and his favorite thing to do was to travel.


Traveling Bear met Fred, and decided to hitch a ride with him.  Traveling Bear had a hard time hanging on though, and this method of travel hurt his arms!

One day, while Traveling Bear was wandering around Seattle, he ran into another bear.  Her name was Girl Bear.  Traveling Bear and Girl Bear quickly became friends.

Traveling Bear brought Girl Bear a rose, and asked her to be his best friend.


Girl Bear liked that idea, and agreed.  She called up Traveling Bear that night and they talked for hours and hours, getting to know each other.


Traveling Bear asked Girl Bear if she would like to join him in his favorite activity.  He invited her to take a trip with him.
