Bead Necklaces

"What sort of challenges?" asked James, who was very keen to know more. "Well, I got this bead," said Alfred, pointing to a long, red one, "for trying a food I hadn't ever tried before.

Sometimes when there is some sort of food that I don't initially like the look of, I just don't choose it. But now, if I do try it, I get a bead for my necklace, which is great!"

It looked as if Alfred had at least two long red beads on his necklace, so he must have tried two types of food he didn't originally think he would like. Alfred must be a very brave bear!

"What else do you get beads for?" questioned Lizzie. "I had a challenge in the Summer," replied Alfred "to make a daisy chain from the daisies in the garden. I liked doing that, AND I got a bead for it."
