The unexpected bear

April 28, 2021
'You're not what I expected,' said the brown-haired girl.
'I'm never what people expect,' said the brown bear.
'You're quite tall,' said the brown-haired girl.
'Yes,' said the brown bear.
'And very handsome,' said the brown-haired girl.
'Thank you,' said the brown bear.

(Pause.)

'I thought you'd be fierce,' said the brown-haired girl.
'Oh,' said the brown bear. 
'I thought I'd want to run away from you,' said the brown-haired girl.
'Please don't,' said the brown bear. 
'I won't,' said the brown-haired girl.
'Good,' said the brown bear.

(Pause.)

'I like your jumper,' said the brown dog.
'It's my favourite,' said the brown bear,
'and I have a hat
'to match.' 
'I like unexpected things,' said the brown-haired girl. 
'Me too,' said the dishevelled little owl.
