Little Bear Story

(insert words in bold for the song after each action)

Once there was a little bear who was sleeping in his bed in his nice dark cave.

"Have a little sleep bear, sleep bear, sleep bear.

Have a little sleep bear, sleep bear, sleep."

The next day the sun came out and the bear woke up and had a stretch.

And since it was a very sunny day the bear decided to go for a walk.  (slap hands against thighs)

But this was a very active little bear and soon he began to run.

And after all that running he was hot and sweaty.  Before him was a big cool lake, so what do you think he did?  Yes!  He jumped right in and took a swim!

And after he swam a little while he climbed out of the water and he was all drippy wet.  And do you know how bears dry themselves off when they are wet?    Yes, they shake!

And after all that shaking he looked up and saw a taaall tree. You know how bears love to climb!

And when he got to the top do you know what he saw?  Some golden, sweet, delicious HONEY!  And you know how much bears love to taste honey!

But you know wherever there is honey there are honeybees.  And those bees did not like that bear messing with their honey.  Do you know what bees do when they are angry?  That right they sting!

The bear cried out, "OUCH!"  and headed back to his cave (climb down, run back, swim, walk to the cave)

When he got there he said, "Mommy, Mommy!  I went for a walk, and a run, and a swim, and I shook off, and then I climbed a tree, and I found some honey, and it tasted good.  But the bees got mad and one stung me on the nose!"  And his mommy said,

"Have a little hug bear, hug bear, hug bear.

  Have a little hug bear, hug bear, hug."
