Once
upon a time, there was a little boy, his name was Ben.
On his first birthday, his parents got him a soft cuddly brown
teddy bear. The little baby boy carried his teddy bear with him
every where he went. At night the teddy bear always got to
sleep next to the baby boy in his crib. |
Ben
grew up and got his own bedroom and a big bed to sleep in. The
teddy
bear got to sleep next to him in bed every night. He was his
favorite toy.
Ben took his teddy bear everywhere he went. The teddy bear went
with the
boy to the zoo, all the parks in the area, and even to school.
Ben became a teenager and he got more and more interested in
video
games, and going out with his friends. He stopped taking his
teddy bear with
him, which made the bear a little bit sad. Still, he would put
his teddy bear
next to him in bed every night. |

Then
Ben started going camping with his friends. He would spend a few
nights at a time at camp. The teddy bear missed his friend a lot
on those
days. When Ben was back from camping he would still remember his
favorite
toy and bring it to bed with him |
|
Ben
graduated from high school and had to go to a university in the
big city.
The boy was now a young man. He would come back home a couple of
times
every year for just a few days. Mom took all of Ben's toys and
put them in a
big box in the attic. But, the teddy bear was always special so
Mom decided
to put him on one of the empty shelves so that when Ben was back
home to
visit he could see his favorite bear. Ben's visits were too
short and he spent
most of his time visiting with his old friends, neighbors, and
family. He
would go to bed late at night, and often forgot to put the bear
in bed
anymore. The bear was so sad and missed the nice old days when
he got to
sleep every night next to Ben in his bed. |

Ben,
now a young man, graduated from the university and got a job in
the
big city. He had his own place there and would only come to
visit for a few
hours on the weekends. Some weekends the teddy bear would not
even get
to see his friend. The teddy bear was so lonely. Many nights, he
would sit
alone crying in the dark, and dreaming of the days when he went
everywhere
with his friend and slept every night next to him. He always
hoped that his
friend would come to take him back to the big city, but it never
happened. |
Ben
met a very nice woman who worked with him and they both liked
each
other. They decided to get married, and after a year they had a
little baby
boy of their own. They loved their baby a lot and often brought
him over to
his grandparents' house. The baby boy was just as cute as his
father had
been when he was a baby. |

One
day Ben remembered his favorite teddy bear and thought that his
own
little baby would love to have it. He ran to his old room, went
straight to
the shelf and grabbed his old friend the teddy bear. The bear
was thrilled
that his old friend had come to visit him, but could not imagine
the nice
surprise that awaited him.
|
When
Ben gave his old bear to his baby boy to play with, the baby was
so
happy he wouldn't leave it alone for the rest of the day. At the
end of the
day, Ben and his family said goodbye to his parents and went to
their own
cozy home. This time the teddy bear came with them. That night,
and every
night after that, the teddy bear got to sleep next to the baby
boy in his crib.
Just like his father, the baby boy would take the teddy bear
with him every
where he went. The teddy bear was so happy. Now he had a new
family that
loved him. His old friend and his new family loved him just as
much as they
possibly could. |
