Once upon a time, there was a teddy bear named Teddy who loved comic books. One day, while playing with his Barie doll and jigsaw puzzle, he noticed the school bus passing by. He decided to go on an adventure and hop on the bus.
As he sat down, he saw a stack of paper and a storybook. He started to draw a comic book, but the bus hit a bump and all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle flew into the air and landed on the chessboard, creating a game of jigsaw chess!
Teddy had a blast playing, and when it was time to get off the bus, he took his comic book and jigsaw chess set with him. From that day forward, Teddy couldn't wait for his next adventure on the school bus.
