The teddy bears were very fed up. It had been raining almost constantly for several days now, meaning they hadn't been able to go outside and play. James was especially dejected.
"What's up, little James?" asked Charlie.
"I want to go outside and play!" replied James. "But it's too wet and cold, even with our raincoats and wellingtons on." And he sighed loudly.
"How about we play a game indoors instead?" asked Charlie. "Would you like me to show you some games with those marbles you bought on holiday?"
"Oh, yes please!" said James. "I think everyone would like that!"
