Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny loved to play and have fun, but sometimes he got into trouble. One day, while playing in the woods, Benny heard a loud growl. He looked around and saw a big, fierce-looking bear charging towards him. Benny was scared, so he started to run. The big bear continued to growl and chase after Benny. Suddenly, Benny tripped on a root and fell to the ground. The big bear was right on top of him, ready to attack. But then, Benny remembered something his mother had told him. She said, "If you ever find yourself in trouble, just let out a loud yank." So Benny took a deep breath and let out a loud yank. The big bear stopped in its tracks and looked at Benny with surprise. It turned out that the big bear was just playing and trying to tease Benny. From then on, Benny learned that it's important to not let others bother him and to always stand up for himself.
