Twelve the Bear was a gentle giant. He lived in a small cottage in the forest with Six the Mouse, his faithful companion. Six was a small mouse, but he was brave and loyal. He would always be there for Twelve, no matter what.

One day, while Twelve was out for a walk in the woods, he spotted a strange creature in the distance. It was Thirteen the Mouse, a new mouse that had just arrived in the forest. Twelve was intrigued by Thirteen and decided to approach him.

Thirteen was a bit scared of Twelve at first, but soon warmed up to him. They quickly became friends and soon Twelve was asking Thirteen to come back to his cottage with him.

The two of them had a wonderful time in Twelve's cottage, but then one day, something horrible happened. As Twelve was getting ready to feed Thirteen, he accidentally swallowed the little mouse whole.

At first, Twelve was horrified at what he had done. He had never meant to hurt Thirteen and was filled with guilt. However, after a few days, Twelve started to accept that Thirteen was gone and that he had to move on.

Twelve still missed Six and Thirteen, but he found solace in the fact that he had provided them with a happy home and that they would always be in his heart.

While Twelve the Bear may have made a mistake, he ultimately learned a valuable lesson. He learned that no matter how big or small, everyone deserves to be loved and cherished, and that even the smallest act of kindness can have a lasting impact.
