All that was left was a teddy bear. A bear that survived a fire. A courageous teddy bear.

On the burnt steps he sat, in the arms of a grown man. A man who had survived a fire. A courageous man named Theodore.

The bear saw something in those flames. Something that Theodore didn’t see. Something that planted a seed of hope in his cotton heart.

The bear wished he could whisper. Whisper to the man’s heart. Whisper, and plant the seed in that heart.
