Michael is a three year old boy who lives in New Jersey. He loved bears. All kinds of them. Any color size or shape he doesn’t care he just loves teddy bears.
One day his parents got back from California and Michael stayed at his grandma’s house. When they got home his mom got out a bag. It just happened to be a present for him. He took the bag and shook it until something came out. His mom and dad Marc and Jan knew he liked it because he never saw a smile so big in their entire life. He started to jump around and held out in his hands Blue Bear. Over the next few days he fell in love with this bear. He slept with it, took it to the park, bath, nursery school, relatives houses, and anywhere else you could think of he took it. He really loved it. When ever he hurt himself or sad or mad the bear would cheer him up and always kept him from waking up throughout the night. Marc and Jan were so happy they got him that bear. They knew that he loved that bear and that nothing could brake them up and that if he ever lost that bear he would brake and would cry and cry and cry. They both agreed. The next day they went to the park. Shortly after they got their Michael fell asleep. When he woke up the loudest of all cries Jan had ever heard by her son. She shortly realized that blue his first love had disappeared. She almost started to cry herself. Michael’s eyes were redder than a cherry. His parents were sadder then a somebody who just lost their girlfriend. She searched everywhere. He disappeared and no one knew where he went to. Marc was a graphic artist and designed fliers that had a picture, description, and name which had been labeled on a bow on his neck. He put them out everywhere and on a separate piece of paper was another picture and their phone number and there was even an award of $250.00 and it also said the love of the bear that Michael had for the bear. Over the next few days Marc and Jan stayed home and sat next to the phone while Michael was crying his heart out.
After that days passes and then weeks, months, and even a year that was filled with sadness the telephone rang. It was a lady named Mrs. Johnson and she said that she found blue bear in the park buried in a sandbox that has been covered up for a year now and when it was opened there he was. Her daughter Emily came with her. She also loved bears. They played together with the beat and both loved the bear and came to be best friends. They’d play non stop. Michael’s angry eyes turned happy, while jumping for the bear, and then hugging the lady and the bear. When she got their she said she washed it and couldn’t accept the money and left with a million thank uses and the feeling of a great deed. The next few months had been great no crying and he was sleeping all through the night. That was Michael’s earliest feeling of love.
