Once upon a time, there was a bear named Benny. He lived in a cave that was tight and cramped. One day, he decided to explore and stumbled upon a river. The river was shallow and the water was clean, but the water was low. Benny wanted to go deeper into the river, so he tried to swim. But he found that the water was too hard for him to swim.
So, he decided to walk along the riverbed, which was soft and clean. As he walked, he came across a waterfall that was high and deep. He was afraid to jump into the deep water, but he finally mustered up the courage and jumped. To his surprise, he found that the water was loose and soft, and he was able to swim freely.

From then on, Benny learned that not everything that is tight and hard is not always bad, and not everything that is loose and soft is always good. He also learned to always keep his surroundings clean and avoid dirty places. The end.
