A Six-Year-Old's Story: A Seal and the Bear
Once upon a time there was a seal and a bear. They were going to have a picnic at the seashore. And then they were driving in their car. And then they paid the person that owned the ocean part. Snuggle paid himself. And then they went seashell hunting. And for supper they had sharks. They had fourteen days of eating the shark. Then they drove home. And then, I'm not quite sure, Snuggle had a hot bath and went straight to bed. The next morning Snuggle took out the shark's teeth. And seal did the same thing. And then they took the shark's teeth and matched them up. And made jewelry out of them.
