Tatty Teddy...
The oldest, smallest house was about to be knocked down
All the things which had made the house nice and cozy had been thrown outside and piled up in the front garden, from the soft springy bed the owners slept in, to the old wooden flour boards they used to walk on…
And even,
Surely by mistake…
…a little brown teddy bear.
He was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and couldn’t move.
Then, one day…a very, very cold day,
Something fell from the sky…
…a little snowflake
It landed on the teddy’s 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 turning blue…
…so cold that his brown fur started turning grey.
He was cold, unloved and all alone in the world, and felt very, very sad.
Winter finally passes and the weather got warmer, and, one beautiful spring day, a little girl was playing near the old house, when she spotted the grey bear in the pile of unwanted things.
He was like no other bear she had 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 teddy 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 unwanted things.
“But he’s lovely!” she continues and she fell completely in love with him.
She ran home 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 his fur had worn away, but the little girl thought he looked perfect.
It was all cozy and warm in the little girl’s house and the bear now felt cozy and warm in his heart. However, his nose was still blue and his fur still grey and they would never return brown. He was unique amongst all 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…
