A little
snowflake . It landed on the teddy bears little nose and was then
followed by many more. He began to get cold , very cold indeed. More and
more snow fell, heavier and heavier. The little bear was now so cold
that his nose started to turn blue... so cold that his brown fur
started turning grey . He was cold, unloved and alone in the world, and
felt very, very sad. Winter finally passed and the weather got warmer.
Then one
beautiful spring morning, a little girl was playing near the old house,
when she spotted the grey bear in a pile of unwanted things. He was like
no other bear she had ever seen, and she pulled him out from where he
was trapped. she dusted him down and lifted him high in the sky to look
at him.
" A grey bear
with a blue nose ? she thought, "How strange"
The teddy bear
wanted to cry, he thought she didn't like him and would throw him back
with the other unwanted things.
"But he's
lovely!" she continued and she fell completely in love with him. She ran
home as fast as her little legs would carry her to see if her grandma
could patch him up as a lot of his stuffing had fallen out, and he was
very much in need of repair. She looked on as her grandma replaced his
stuffing and patched up his holes.
His stitches
had started showing where the fur had worn away, but the little girl
thought he looked perfect.
It was all cosy
and warm in the little girl's house and the bear now felt cosy and warm
in his heart. However , his nose was still blue and his fur still grey
and they would never return to brown. He was unique, amongst teddy
bears.
The little girl
gave him a great big hug. She loved him more than anything else in the
world. Her little, grey, blue nosed...
...Tatty Teddy.
