Bedtime for bear

Once upon a time, a bear was born. He’s a sweet little bear. His mama and papa were really, really happy with their new baby and with themselves. All their friends and neighbors were so proud of how well they’d done with being parents. Baby bear’s papa even told everyone that baby bear would be a great writer someday. It just made the papa feel so accomplished. Well, about two years into their lives together, mom and papa were getting ready for bed. They had a little reading time planned for baby bear. They were going to read him his favorite books. Baby bear liked reading as much as mom and papa did. But that’s not the way baby bear wanted to spend his time. He wanted to sit by his mom and dad, have them read him his favorite stories. But mom and papa just thought they’d read him to sleep. “No, I don’t want to read to me,” said baby bear. “I want to play with you, and make you read to me.” But it seemed that was just not in the cards. “I’m too tired to read, dear,” said mom and papa. “I’ll just read you to sleep, and you can have a nice snooze.” “Don’t you want to play with me, daddy?” baby bear asked. “No,” said papa. “Tomorrow is a new day. I’ll play with you then.” After they went to bed, baby bear lay down and thought about it. He wasn’t happy about having to sleep in his own bed with mom and papa. He was used to playing and having fun with his parents. He missed them and he felt sad. Once upon a time, a little bear was sleeping in his bed, dreaming about the food he was about to have for dinner. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Curious, the bear ran to open the door. When he opened it, a nice-looking woman with glasses and long red hair asked, "Can I come in?” The bear said, "I'm afraid my mom and dad are asleep, but you can stay here if you want.” "I'd love to stay,” said the nice-looking woman with glasses and long red hair. The bear told her to sit in his favorite chair, and she did. Then, the bear made the woman a plate of food from his dinner. She ate it, and then the bear made her a second one. When the woman had finished her dinner, she asked the bear what her name was. He told her it was Alice. Then she asked him about his name, and he said it was Thomas. When she asked what kind of bear he was, he said that he was a big brown bear. The woman said, "And what kind of bear are you, Thomas?” “I'm a little black bear,” said the bear. “And you are sleeping in your bed?” “I've had some interesting dreams lately,” said the bear. "Oh," said Alice, and she started to leave. "I need to go now,” she said. "Goodnight, Thomas.” The bear closed the door. Later that night, the bear was dreaming again. He was lying in his bed and a butterfly flew in the room. When the butterfly touched the bear, he woke up, startled. He got up and looked at himself in the mirror. He saw that he was little. He felt a bit sad, and then he noticed a beautiful lady in the mirror. “Who are you?” asked the bear. “I am you,” she said. “I am your dream.” "But why are you in my room?” asked the bear. "I came because you needed help,” said the lady. “You need to know that you are a little black bear, who has big brown eyes and long white fur, and that you are very cute.” The bear was surprised. “You are my dream,” he said, “but I'm not little, and I'm not black, and I'm not a bear.” "That's because you're dreaming,” said the lady. “You need to dream about being a little black bear. You need to dream that you are a cute bear, and you need to dream that you are a brown bear.” The bear wanted to think more about this. “When I was your age, I didn't know what I was,” said the lady. “I was dreaming, too. I didn't know what I was dreaming about. Then I found a caterpillar who spoke to me, and he told me all about dreams. He said that you need to learn to dream about being a little black bear. “Can you do that?” asked the caterpillar. “I will try,” said the bear. After that, the bear got in his bed and he dreamed about being a little black bear. He remembered that he liked being a little black bear, and he liked being a brown bear, too. “I like being a little black bear,” he said. “Now I'm going to dream about being a cute bear.” The bear slept well, and when he woke up, he could see his big brown eyes. He put on his clothes and left his room, feeling happy and hopeful. The next day, Thomas the bear woke up feeling sad. He ate his breakfast, and then he went to his room. In his room, he began to cry. “Why am I sad?” asked the bear. “I was happy yesterday.” He didn't know why, but he felt sad. “What can I do to make myself feel better?” he wondered. “I need to dream that I'm a cute bear.” So, he decided to go to bed and dream about being a cute bear. He wanted to do what the lady in his dream had told him to do. The bear lay in his bed and he started to dream. He could see his big brown eyes in the mirror, and he felt that he was a cute bear. When he saw his brown coat and his cute smile, he started to feel happier. The bear felt like a good-looking, cute bear, and he felt good. "I'm a cute bear,” he said. “I'm a brown bear. I'm a little black bear.” He fell asleep, and he dreamed about being a little black bear. He loved being a little black bear, and he felt happy and hopeful. He woke up, and he was a little black bear. He could see his brown eyes in the mirror, and he felt happy and hopeful. He ate his breakfast, and then he went to his room. He opened his door and went into his room. "Why am I sad?” asked the bear. “I was happy yesterday.” He didn't know why, but he felt sad. “What can I do to make myself feel better?” he wondered. “I need to dream about being a little black bear.” So, he decided to go to bed and dream about being a little black bear. He wanted to do what the lady in his dream had told him to do. The bear lay in his bed and he started to dream. He could see his brown eyes in the mirror, and he felt that he was a cute bear. When he saw his brown coat and his cute smile, he started to feel happier. The bear felt like a good-looking, cute bear, and he felt good. "I'm a cute bear,” he said. “I'm a brown bear. I'm a little black bear.” He fell asleep, and he dreamed about being a little black bear. He loved being a little black bear, and he felt happy and hopeful. When he woke up, he felt like a bear again. "I can see my brown eyes in the mirror,” he said. “I'm a brown bear. I'm a little black bear.” "I'm a cute bear,” he said. “I'm a brown bear. I'm a little black bear.” “I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” “I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” “I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” “I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” “I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” "I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” "I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” "I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” "I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.” "I'm a brown bear,” he said. “I'm a little black bear. I'm a cute bear.”

Once upon a time, a bear lived alone with his family. When his children grew up, they were not exactly good. They ate too many marshmallows, they broke too many toys and they left dirty plates in the sink. The bear had to teach his children a lesson. “You have become very, very naughty,” said the bear. “I’ll tell you what you must do. You must live in a cave, and you must be responsible. I’ll give you six days to work, and every day you must choose one of your chores. On the seventh day, I will decide what you will get for all your hard work.” The first night, the children asked, “What’s a chore?” “A chore is something that must be done even if you don’t like it,” said the bear. “Tomorrow, you must choose a chore and start working. If you’re not finished by noon, you’ll have to do your chores in the afternoon.” So the next day, they went to bed, but they couldn’t sleep. They worried about what their chores would be, and they kept waking up. Finally, the bear said, “Boys, get a move on.” So, in the morning, the three sons woke up early and went to the kitchen. They were worried about their chores because they didn’t know what they would be, but the father told them, “We have to remember that the worst things are those we do for love. I’ll do your chores for you. I’ll help you work, but you will clean up everything.” The first chore was to go to the kitchen and bring the children their breakfast. They didn’t know what to do, so they started washing the dishes. After that, they had to make a bed and they had to hang up their clothes. Then they cleaned the cave and did their chores. At lunchtime, the mother asked, “What have you done?” “We cleaned the cave,” the children said. “Good,” she said, “now go to your room and study until it’s time to eat dinner.” The sons didn’t know what to do next, so they just sat and waited for their mother to come home. When they heard her arrive, the father told them, “You did great.” The first evening, the children slept in their rooms. When it was bedtime, the father told them, “Get your clothes on and go to your room.” They knew what was coming, but they did as they were told. That night, the father told the mother, “You did great with them. They’re becoming very obedient.” The next day, the father started all three children working. They didn’t know what to do, but they were really afraid that they were going to be doing the most awful chores. “How can we learn if we don’t try it?” said the father. “And, we’re doing the best chores we can think of.” “But how are we supposed to study?” said the mother. “We’re going to get the boys to study in the middle of the day,” he said. “They need to get used to doing chores in the middle of the day.” At lunchtime, the father and the boys got ready to go out. As soon as they left, the mother said, “I’ll go too.” So, they went to their friends’ cave. When they got there, the father brought the sons in to see the whole family. “This is my husband, and these are my sons.” She showed the friends what she was wearing and introduced the children. “Wow, you must be really careful,” said the father’s friends. “I hope you’ll be careful too.” “They’re very obedient,” said the mother. “Wow,” said the father’s friend, “they look like good workers.” The father’s friend said to his friends, “I’m the father, and these are my sons. They’re good workers. They’re learning discipline and responsibility. Let’s go outside.” The father and the boys went outside and played in the sand for awhile. Then, they went to his friend’s cave. “Let’s watch some movies.” The mother didn’t know what to do, but they went out. Then, they played with the children and went home. The father and the boys had to do their chores. “Boys, the first time is a small test. Let’s see how you do,” the father said. “It’s easy, and you’ll be doing it more and more as the weeks go by.” So, that night, they all went to bed, and the mother got ready for bed too. “Boys, tomorrow is my turn to go out with your father and do his chores,” she said. “What’s a chore?” they asked. The next day, they went to bed, and the father came and told them to get ready. “Are you ready?” he said. “Let’s go.” So, the father went with his children to their friend’s cave. They played in the sand for awhile and they went home. Then, they all went to bed. The next morning, the mother was ready to go out. They asked her what chores she would be doing, and the father told her, “You’ll be picking up the children from school.” “That’s easy,” she said. “You have to pick up all their things,” he told her. “You must be very careful. You’re really responsible for these children. You’ll probably have to stay with them for awhile.” At lunchtime, the father and the mother got ready to go out. “Let’s go and watch movies.” So, they went to the friend’s cave and watched movies and played. Then, they went home. That night, the father told the mother, “Let’s go out. You’ll do your chores.” “What chores?” the boys asked. “You’re responsible for all the children in the world. You must help them with everything,” he said. “You have to take them to the park. You have to walk them in the park. You have to pick them up and take them back. You have to get their homework done, and you must watch them while they’re watching TV.” That night, the mother got ready and went to bed. The boys stayed in their room, and the father went with his friends. When they went out, the mother did everything she was supposed to. She took them to the park, she took them to school, and she walked them home. She went with them to watch TV. She even helped them do their homework. “You’ve done an amazing job,” the father’s friends said. The next morning, the father woke them up. “Get up,” he said. “Get dressed. I’m going to take you to a store so you can buy some toys.” The boys didn’t know what to do. So, they just got dressed and got in the car. They were surprised to see the father doing his chores, but he had a lot of good surprises for them. The first thing he did was give them all the chores they were supposed to do. He made them clean the cave, and they cleaned the cave. “Wow, you did a good job,” said the mother. “It’s easy,” said the father, “but you have to do it every day. You’re doing an important job. If you do it well, I’ll give you a present.” “A present?” the sons asked. “Yes, a present,” he said. “You’re going to be good workers, and you deserve some rewards. You’ll clean and you’ll help all the children.” That day, they cleaned the cave and the neighbors’ cave. They did their chores and they went to school. Then, they went to the store with the father and bought toys. At night, they all went to bed. They weren’t afraid of their chores anymore, so they went to sleep. The End.
