A Holiday Garden

After a long time playing outside in the fresh air, there was a very tired band of bears. They gathered on the garden seats and some even nodded off!

All too soon Scary spoiled their peace and quiet. "Come on, you lot!" he shouted. The other bears put their paws over their ears or tutted and complained.

Scary knew how to stop that. "It's time for tea!" he continued, "If you come in now and fill up your plates you can bring them back out into the garden to eat - like a big picnic!"

Suddenly, there was a rapid rush to get into the kitchen. "Thanks, Scary!" the bears shouted. "That was a great way to wake us up! No more moaning from us! We're not a bit tired any more!"

They sat outside eating their meal as the evening light slowly stole across the garden. It was a peaceful - maybe even enchanting - end to their first day here.

They looked forward to several more days at this holiday cottage, and it was certainly put on their list for future visits!
