He was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and
couldn't move.
Then, one day
a very cold day, something fell from the sky
a 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
so cold that his brown fur
started turning grey.
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 grey 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 grey teddy bear
with a blue nose?" she thought. "How
strange!"
