Chirping cheerfully, a flock of birds flew south, creating a black smudge against the crystal-clear , blue winter sky.Crunch. A twig snapped. A huge, brown bear padded silently along the dusty, mossy path, but he wasn’t alone… His best friend, a small, fluffy hare was with him. suddenly, the bear reared up and sniffed the air, making the hare slide of his back.

“What’s the matter?” asked the hare, looking concerned.

“It’s winter,” replied the bear heavily “It’s time to hibernate,”

“Do you have to?”moaned the hare,feeling upset

“Sorry,” sniffed the bear, turning his back on  the hare and trudging away.

The hare’s bright, round face face fell.
