Bear Do and Bear-Do

Bear Do and Bear-Do

In the snowy hills of Hokkaido, where the winter magic sparkles like fairy dust, lived two extraordinary bears: Bear Do and Bear-Do. Though they were twins, they were quite different from each other. Bear Do was a fluffy, white bear with a heart as warm as a summer day. His fur was soft and snow-white, and his eyes twinkled like stars. Bear-Do, on the other hand, was a playful bear with a bushy beard that made him look like he had many stories to tell.

Bear-Do’s beard was no ordinary beard; it was a special feature that gave him a unique charm. He took great pride in his beard, which he kept looking its best with a variety of magical grooming techniques he had learned from the wise old owls and the playful foxes of the forest. His beard had a rich, shiny quality that added to his rugged and whimsical personality, and he often used enchanted oils and balms to keep it in top shape.

One frosty morning, as the first rays of the sun painted the snow in shades of pink and gold, Bear Do and Bear-Do awoke to a world of wonder. The snow-covered forest was like a magical wonderland, just waiting for their adventure.

“Let’s build the biggest snowman ever!” Bear Do suggested with excitement.

“Sounds perfect!” Bear-Do replied, his beard bobbing with enthusiasm. “But let’s also spread some warmth and cheer along the way.”

As they ventured into the forest, they met a family of shivering squirrels. The little creatures were cold and without a warm place to stay.

“Hello, little squirrels!” Bear Do greeted them kindly. “You look cold. How can we help?”

Bear-Do, always quick with an idea, said, “We’ll build a cozy snow fort for you!”

With their combined magic, Bear Do and Bear-Do constructed a charming snow fort. They used soft snow and fluffy blankets to make it snug and warm. The grateful squirrels chattered happily and shared tiny acorns as thanks.

With the squirrels safe and warm, Bear Do and Bear-Do continued their journey to build the snowman. They found a perfect spot and began rolling large snowballs. Bear Do used his soft fur to craft a wonderful hat, while Bear-Do fashioned a warm scarf from his beard. He even used a bit of his special, enchanted beard oil to make the scarf extra soft and cozy. They added a shiny, red button for the snowman’s nose.

Just as they finished, the sky began to glow with the colors of the setting sun. The magical twilight bathed the snowy landscape in hues of pink and gold, making the snowman sparkle with enchantment.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze swept through the forest, carrying the scent of adventure. Bear Do and Bear-Do exchanged a knowing glance. They sensed that something extraordinary was about to happen.

As the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, Bear Do and Bear-Do gathered around their snowman, still aglow with magic. They felt a tingling excitement and wondered what their next adventure might be. Perhaps they would explore hidden corners of the forest or discover new friends to help.

“What do you think awaits us next?” Bear Do asked, his eyes filled with wonder.

“I’m not sure,” Bear-Do replied with a grin, “but I’m excited to find out!”

And so, with the forest whispering secrets and the night sky twinkling above, Bear Do and Bear-Do snuggled into their cozy den, dreaming of the many adventures yet to come. They knew that their hearts, full of kindness and creativity, would always lead them to new and magical experiences.

And as the stars shone brightly over Hokkaido, the two bears rested peacefully, ready for whatever wonders awaited them on the horizon.

Moral of the Story

れいぞくキャンディーのぼうけん

れいぞくキャンディーのぼうけん

むかしむかし、わらいごえとえがおでいっぱいの小さなまちに、まほうのようなできごとがおこるじゅんびができていました。すべてのはじまりは、ぽつぽつとふる雨が七色にかがやくカーブしたにじをよびだしたときでした。

あるひ、おひさまがてりながら小雨がふる中、カイと友だちは「にじのキャンディー」をみつけました。「おいしそう!」とみんながさけびながら、カラフルなキャンディーをポリポリたべました。でも、このキャンディーはふつうじゃありませんでした。リリィがひとかけらたべたとたん、なんと! まばゆくかがやく「にじ」にかわって、空にふわふわととびあがってしまったのです!

「たいへん!友だちが!」とカイはさけびました。でも、すぐにすてきなアイデアをおもいつきました。カイもにじのキャンディーをひとつかみたべると、たちまち彼女もにじになり、空へととびだしました! カイとリリィは、わらいながらくもの中でクルクルまわり、空にきらめく色をぬりえしました。

それを見たほかの子どもたちも、にじのキャンディーをたべてみました。すると、次々に空へととびあがり、にじのようにかがやきながら空をたのしくおどりました!みんなで「にじのまわりでぐるぐる」や「ひかりとかくれんぼ」といったゲームをして大はしゃぎ!

でも、いいことはいつかおわるものです。雨がやんで、にじがすこしずつ消えはじめました。子どもたちは、ひとりずつゆっくりと地面におりてきました。

「いたた!おしりがゴムボールみたいだ!」とリリィがいいました。

「わたしのあたまはコマみたいにクルクルしてる!」とカイがわらいました。

でも、だれもけがはせず、ただたかい空でのぼうけんにちょっと目がまわっただけでした。

リリィは、さっきまでかかっていたにじを見上げて、「にじってどのくらいながくつづくのかな?」とかんがえました。

カイはにっこりわらって、「にじは、雨の日みたいにいつかおわっちゃうけど、いつだってふしぎで楽しいサプライズをくれるよ!だから、お天気がわるくても、いつもすてきなものをさがしてみよう!」といいました。
