NEW : The story of the five bears

  In a pretty little toy shop, in a quiet little village, five bears sat together high up on wooden shelf. The bears were Arturo, Antero, Pysio, Marcel and Setanta, and they were brothers, who were very happy to be together.

   One hot summer , many tourists from different countries  came to visit the village, and  many children visited the pretty little toy shop. Most bought toys to bring home with them.  The bears were worried about going away to a new country. Over the summer, one by one, the bears were bought by children from all  over Europe.

  Pysio was bought by a child from Poland. An Italian child bought Arturo. Marcel was bought by a child on their holidays from France. Finally Antero and Setanta were bought on the same day, Antero by a Finnish child and Setanta by a child from Ireland.

  They were very sad to be parting company from each other but excited to be setting off on a new adventure. Each bear promised to write about their new homes and to tell the others about what  life was like in their new countries.They made a promise to each other that some day they would all meet again.

  Their time together in the pretty little toy shop was over but their new lives were just beginning.
