| Do you know him? Tatty teddy, here’s a story about him. | |
The oldest, smallest house you can imagine was about to be knocked down. All the things that once made the house nice and cozy had been thrown outside and piled up in the front garden, from the soft springy bed the owners slept in, to the old wooden floorboards they used to walk on. And even, surely by some mistake, a little brown teddy bear, he was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and couldn’t move. Then, one day, it’s a very cold day, something fell from the sky. Little snowflake… It landed on the teddy bear’s little nose and then was followed by many more. He began to get cold, very cold indeed. More and more snow fell, heavier and heavier. The little bear was now so cold that his nose started turning blue. It’s so cold that his brown fur started turning gray. He was cold, unloved and all alone in the world, and felt very, very sad. Winter finally passed and the weather got warmer. One beautiful spring day, a little girl was playing near the old house, when she spotted the gray bear in the pile of unwanted things. He was like no other bear she had ever seen and she pulled him out from where he was trapped. She dusted him down and lifted him high in the sky to look at him. “A gray teddy bear but with a blue nose?” she thought. “How strange!” The teddy bear wanted to cry. He thought she didn’t like him and would throw him back with the other unwanted things. “But he’s lovely!” she continued and she fell completely in love with him. She ran home as fast as her little legs would carry her, to see if her Grandma could patch him up as a lot of his stuffing had fallen out, and he was very much in need of repair. She looked on as her Grandma replaced his stuffing and patched up his holes. His stitches had started showing where the fur had worn away, but the little girl thought he looked perfect. It was all cozy and warm in the little girl’s house and the bear felt all cozy and warm in his heart. However, his nose was still blue and his fur was still gray, and they would never return to brown. He was unique among teddy bears. The little girl gave him a great big hug. She loved him more than anything else in the world. He is her little gray, blue-nosed, tatty teddy. | |
今天，无意间在一个英语论坛里看到这篇感人的、关于泰迪熊的故事。妞妈特别的深有感触，因为在没有生妞公主之前，有一年的生日，妞爸送给妞妈的礼物就是一只灰色的皮草泰迪熊！这个故事中善良的小女孩给我很大的感动，也希望以后能借助这个故事，告诉慢慢懂事的妞公主，希望她也能像故事中的小女孩一样，做一个善良又充满爱心的人。
善良的小女孩，在看到泰迪熊时，并没有被他灰色的身子，蓝色的鼻子所吓倒，也没有像其他见过泰迪熊的路人一样，唾弃并讨厌它，虽然，在看到它的时候会觉得有些奇怪，可是她还是会蹲下身来和可爱的泰迪熊一起。
她把小熊带回家，请奶奶帮忙修补，虽然最终泰迪熊不能完全恢复到最初的样子，可是因为它的灰色皮毛和蓝色的鼻子，也因此成为了小女孩在这个世界上所拥有的独一无二的泰迪熊。
在这个世界上，它是独一无二的泰迪熊，小女孩爱他，比任何事情都重要。因为，它是她的小灰，蓝鼻，tatty玩具。
