Bear was busy making pies. When he woke up in spring, he would need them.
"Oh no!" cried Bear. "The berries (莓) have run out. I must pick some more."
Bear went to find more berries. He walked till his foot ached, but he didn't find any berries n his home.
So he decided to go deeper into the forest to look for berries. As he walked along, he felt very h. He had been so busy cooking that he had eaten nothing all day.
As be walked, Bear met bis friend Raccoon.
"Do you have say berries for me?" asked Bear.
"Sorry, but I can g you some apples." said Raccoon.
"Your apples are too sour." said Bear.
Soon Bear met Squirrel.
"Do you have any berries for me?" asked Bear.
"No," said Squirrel. "But I have some walnuts (核桃). You can have some."
"Thank you." said Bear. "But I do not w walnuts in my pies. I will keep searching for berries."
After a lot of effort, Bear realized that there were no berries left.
Suddenly, snow began to fall. Bear raced home. Then he jumped into bed. B he could not sleep. He was so hungry.
"Oh dear." said Bear. I will have to eat my pies. But if so, I will have n for spring. Bear was too hungry to worry about it. He ate up all the pies u he felt full at last. Soon he was fast asleep. Bear slept for many months.
Spring came. Bear w up. He was very, very hungry.
Just then, Raccoon and Squirrel came. They were each holding a pie.
"Those pies smell delicious." said Bear.
"Oh. I don't think you would like my sour apple pie." said Raccoon.
"And I am sure you wouldn't like my walnut pie." said Squirrel.
When Bear opened his mouth to speak, Raccoon put some apple pie in Bear's m.
"Yum, this is good!" cried Bear.
Squirrel gave Bear some walnut pie.
"Wow, walnut pie is great, t," said Bear.
"Aren't you glad we educated you about pies?" said Squirrel.
"I am." Bear said. "My next pies will have new fillings (馅)."
