Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny was a very HAPPY bear and loved to play in the forest with his animal friends.

One day, Benny woke up feeling SAD. He didn't know why he was feeling this way, but he knew he needed to find something to cheer him up. He went for a walk in the forest to clear his head.

As he walked, he realized he was HUNGRY. He looked around for something to eat but couldn't find anything. He began to feel more and more HUNGRY and THIRSTY.

Just as he was about to give up, he saw a berry bush. Benny was overjoyed and quickly ate as many berries as he could. But he still felt THIRSTY so he went to the river to get a drink of water.

After he quenched his thirst, Benny realized he was getting HOT from all the walking. He found a nice shady spot to rest under a tree and soon he was feeling much better.

As the sun began to set, Benny started to feel COLD. He knew it was time to head back home. He said goodbye to his animal friends and made his way back to his cozy cave, where he snuggled up in his bed and went to sleep, feeling HAPPY and content.

The end.
