The Hungry Little Bear
Little bear cub woke up. Its tummy went rumble, rumble! The honey pot was empty. Oh no!
The cub trotted into the forest. It saw bright red berries. The cub tried one. Ptooey! Too sour!
The cub sniffed and sniffed. It saw a tall oak tree. Nuts! But a speedy squirrel had gathered them all. Chatter, chatter!
The cub felt sleepy, but its tummy still rumbled. Then, a tiny buzzy sound. Bzzzzzz! A small, low beehive!
Carefully, the cub reached up. Plop! A piece of honeycomb fell into its paw! Sweet, sticky honey! The cub licked its paw, happy at last, then curled up for a nap.
