The Teddy Bear's Dinner

The small furry creature sat down at his dinner table and poured out the contents of the box into his cereal bowl. Out came several circular objects of all sizes and colors. Some with two holes, some with three, there were even a couple with four. These objects were buttons, the teddy bear’s favorite food.

Once Mr. Cuddles finished his breakfast, he ran out into the woods to frolic with his forest friends. Some were other bears, some were butterflies, there were even deer and little lambs to play with. This was the basic day of a teddy; it was simple and easy going. After the frolicking comes lunch and more frolicking, then dinner and bed where they sleep on fluffy marshmallows. Some of the more wealthy teddies even slept on silver clouds.

“Thanks for the frolic fest!” Mr. Cuddles shouted to his friends.
“Come back after dinner for a late night frolic Mr. Cuddles! It will be a jolly golly blast!” the Forest Friends replied in unison.

“Mmm, I can’t wait to pour myself a big bowl of buttons for dinner” Mr. Cuddles said to himself as he entered his tree.
He got out his dinner bowl and placed his butt’n-eat’n spoon on the table. He poured himself a glass of dew, which he collected every morning from the leaves of his tree, and reached for a box of buttons. At first he noticed something strange about the box, but it did not register. “Perhaps it is just a new packaging…” he thought. He attempted to pour the contents of the box into his bowl, but something went horribly wrong.

“Where are my buttons?” he sobbed “Where are my damn buttons?”

Mr. Cuddles ran out of his tree and speed frolicked to the forest trail which led to Teddy Town. The forest trail is long with many dangers at night time, but there was no time to waste, he needed his button dinner. So off he went without fear into the dark forest trail only to meet up with Big Bear, who was on his way to a picnic.
