A teddy bear with black and white stripes was sitting in my room. He looked up at me when I came near to him. “Hello,” he said. He spoke with a clear, grave voice. I looked at the bear and immediately began to laugh. “Hey!” he said. “Who’s laughing?” I didn’t reply. “Come here,” he said. I could see the grin widening on his face. I shook my head, and finally came to terms with the fact that I was probably going to be eaten alive. You would never believe this.
