One day, Little Bear was playing near the lake, throwing rocks.Suddenly ,Little Bear heard someone saying:" Hello!"

Little Bear searched and searched, to see where the voice came.
Franklin:"Hey, up here!"

Little Bear:"Hello!What's your name?"

Franklin:"My name is Franklin, and yours?"

Little Bear:"Little Bear!"

Franklin:"Nice to meet you!I have a friend and is called,Bear.He is sick and had to stay home, and my friends are busy.Want to play with me?"

Little Bear:"Sure, let's play hide and seek!"

Franklin:"Let's play"

And so was born a great friendship of two unforgettable characters!
