83) The Teddy Bear’s Adventure

 

The Teddy Bear’s Adventure

Once upon a time, there was a teddy bear named Toby. He lived in a toy store with many other toys, but he felt lonely and bored. He wanted to see the world and have some fun.

One day, he saw a little girl enter the store with her mother. She had a golden ring on her finger that sparkled in the light. Toby thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He wished he could have it for himself.

He decided to sneak out of the store and follow the girl. He waited until she was distracted by a display of dolls and then jumped into her backpack. He hoped she wouldn’t notice him until he got the chance to take the ring.

He felt the backpack move as the girl walked out of the store with her mother. He peeked out of a small hole and saw that they were heading to a park. He saw green grass, blue sky, and colorful flowers. He thought it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. He wished he could explore it for himself.

He decided to get out of the backpack and run away. He waited until the girl was busy playing on a swing and then crawled out of the backpack. He hoped she wouldn’t miss him until he got the chance to see the park.

He ran across the grass and felt the wind in his fur. He smelled the flowers and heard the birds sing. He felt happy and free. He thought he had found his paradise.

He saw a big tree with a hole in its trunk. He thought it would be a good place to hide and rest. He climbed into the hole and found a cozy nest. He snuggled into it and fell asleep.

He woke up to a loud noise. He opened his eyes and saw a squirrel staring at him angrily. The squirrel said, “Hey, what are you doing in my nest? Get out of here, you intruder!”

Toby was scared and confused. He said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know this was your nest. I just wanted to sleep for a while.”

The squirrel said, “Well, you can’t sleep here. This is my home and you are not welcome. Go back to where you came from.”

Toby said, “But I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here and see the world.”

The squirrel said, “The world is not for you, you silly toy. You belong in a store or in a child’s room. You don’t belong here.”

Toby said, “But I’m not a toy, I’m a teddy bear. I have feelings and dreams. I want to be happy and free.”

The squirrel said, “You are delusional, you stupid teddy bear. You are nothing but a pile of stuffing and fabric. You can’t be happy or free. You can only be what you are made for.”

Toby felt sad and hurt. He said, “But I don’t want to be what I’m made for. I want to be what I want to be.”

The squirrel said, “That’s impossible, you foolish teddy bear. You can’t change what you are. You can only accept it.”

Toby said, “But I can’t accept it. I hate it.”

The squirrel said, “Then you are doomed to suffer.”

Toby felt hopeless and desperate. He said, “Is there no way out?”

The squirrel said, “There is one way out, but you won’t like it.”

Toby said, “What is it?”

The squirrel said, “You have to give up your golden ring.”

Toby was shocked and confused. He said, “What golden ring?”

The squirrel said, “The golden ring on your paw.”

Toby looked at his paw and saw that he had indeed a golden ring on it. He didn’t know how or when he got it, but he guessed that he must have taken it from the girl when he was in her backpack.

He remembered how much he wanted the ring when he first saw it in the store. He thought it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

He looked at the ring again and saw that it still sparkled in the light. He felt a surge of greed and pride. He thought it was his most precious possession.

He said, “Why do I have to give up my ring?”

The squirrel said, “Because it is cursed.”

Toby said, “Cursed? How?”

The squirrel said, “It is cursed by the fairy queen who made it for her lover long ago. She gave it to him as a symbol of her eternal love and loyalty.”

Toby said, “That sounds nice.”

The squirrel said, “It was nice until he betrayed her with another fairy. She was furious and heartbroken. She cursed him and the ring with her magic.”

Toby said, “What did she do?”

The squirrel said, “She made him turn into a teddy bear and the ring into a magnet. She said that whoever wears the ring will be drawn to the teddy bear and whoever holds the teddy bear will be drawn to the ring. She said that they will never be apart, but they will never be happy either. They will wander the world, looking for something they can never find.”

Toby said, “That sounds horrible.”

The squirrel said, “It is horrible. And you are the teddy bear.”

Toby was stunned and terrified. He said, “Me? I’m the teddy bear?”

The squirrel said, “Yes, you are. And the girl is the ring.”

Toby said, “The girl? The one from the store?”

The squirrel said, “Yes, the one from the store. She is the ring. She wears it on her finger. She is drawn to you and you are drawn to her. You can’t escape each other.”

Toby said, “But I don’t want to be with her. I want to be free.”

The squirrel said, “You can’t be free. You are bound by the curse. The only way to break it is to give up the ring.”

Toby said, “But I don’t want to give up the ring. It’s mine.”

The squirrel said, “It’s not yours. It’s hers. And it’s making you miserable.”

Toby said, “But it’s beautiful.”

The squirrel said, “It’s not beautiful. It’s ugly. It’s a trap. It’s a lie.”

Toby said, “But it’s precious.”

The squirrel said, “It’s not precious. It’s worthless. It’s a burden. It’s a curse.”

Toby looked at the ring again and saw that it had lost its sparkle. He felt a pang of regret and guilt. He thought it was his biggest mistake.

He said, “What should I do?”

The squirrel said, “You should give it back to her.”

Toby said, “How?”

The squirrel said, “You have to find her and return it to her. You have to apologize and ask for forgiveness. You have to tell her the truth.”

Toby said, “Where is she?”

The squirrel said, “She is still in the park. She is looking for you. She is crying.”

Toby felt a twinge of pity and remorse. He thought she was his only hope.

He said, “Will she forgive me?”

The squirrel said, “I don’t know. That’s up to her.”

Toby said, “Will I be free?”

The squirrel said, “I don’t know. That’s up to you.”

Toby said, “Will I be happy?”

The squirrel said, “I don’t know. That’s up to fate.”

Toby took a deep breath and made up his mind.

He said, “I’ll do it.”

He got out of the nest and ran towards the girl.

He hoped he would find her.

He hoped she would forgive him.

He hoped he would be free.

He hoped he would be happy.

He hoped he would see the most beautiful flowers ever to be seen.

The end.
