The Bear That Got Stuck In The Woods

by Gabriella, 7 years old

Once upon a time, Santa was flying to Alice’s house. Alice always put “teddy bear” on her Christmas list, but she never got one. This time, Santa remembered the teddy bear. Santa’s sack was too heavy to carry, so he tipped the toys onto the roof.

Suddenly the teddy bear tumbled off the roof. The bear fell into the forest and she got stuck in a tree. She looked down. She was too far to jump down. It was a good thing the branches made steps. She climbed down and ran all the way to Alice’s house. She wrapped herself up and crept under the tree.

On Christmas morning, Alice opened her present and then she saw the teddy bear!
