Benjamin the Froggy Bear *MADE TO ORDER*
Meet Benjamin the Froggy bear! Benjamin was born to a loving mama bear and papa bear. He didn’t know inside from the outside, but his place was surrounded by metal bars and littered with hay for a bed. Benjamin was happy with his mama and papa. And they too were happy with him, not only because he was here but because he was so special, his body was covered in spots that looked like flowers! That made him extra extra special.
Especially to the men who ran the circus he was born into. “Come one, come all to see the marvelous flower spotted bear!” They said. “A real one of a kind, never seen before!” They shouted.
Going city to city and seeing the world was quite exciting, but Benjamin didn’t get to see his mama and papa as much anymore. And the crowds were quite loud, which hurt his little ears. One day while traveling along, a massive storm rattled the caravan. The roads were so unclear, they could not see where to go! Benjamin was so scared and alone. When all of a sudden a large tree fell onto the caravan, separating Benjamin from the group. His cart fell and rolled and tumbled and jumped before finally landing in a final resting spot.
Once day broke and the clouds cleared, Benjamin could see he was in a a meadow, not far from a pond. But totally foreign to him. scared and alone Benjamin set up camp, and waited. He waited and waited and waited until realizing no one was coming. But a strange thing happened, soon enough he realized he liked the quiet. There were no more loud noises or flashing lights. He missed his mama and papa but he hoped they would be okay too. His mama did always tell him about places like this, “home” she called it. And so that’s what Benjamin did.
He found a friend too, a Mr Frogg. Who unlike the name suggests, was a sweet girl. And they just enjoyed one another’s company. Benjamin didn’t say much about the circus., and she didn’t ask about it either. Benjamin become a godfather to all of Mr Froggs little froggies. And he was happy.
Benjamin knew his mama and papa were right, he WAS special because he got to be free.
