Once upon a time, there was a shabby old toy store. The toys were stale and tattered, with threadbare fur and trite expressions on their faces. But one day, a young girl entered the store and saw something special. In the corner, she found a vintage teddy bear that looked worn and loved. The young girl eagerly bought the bear and took it home. She loved it and played with it every day, giving it a new life filled with love and joy. The end.

Reflections

1. What made the teddy bear special to the young girl?
2. How did the young girl bring new life to the teddy bear?
3. Why was the toy store shabby and the toys stale and tattered?
4. Do you think the teddy bear was happy to be found by the young girl? Why or why not?
