Sometimes little bear is not very well

Little bear is good at being important at his school-work. But he's not very good when he feels ill, like when he gets sniffles and colds and things like that.

But the worst thing that happens to a little bear is when his ears get sore. It happens because when he gets ill he gets hot. And when he gets hot, if he is not careful he gets all sweaty. And if he gets all sweaty in bed his pillow gets wet, and the his ears are next to the pillow, and then his ears get wet, and then his ears get sore.

And the little bear has funny shaped ears, so when soreness gets inside his ears it is hard for it to get out. And the little bear is very sensitive about his ears being sore.

It happened the other day, and the little bear couldn't go to his school, all day, and he was worried. And then the little bear couldn't go to his school the next day either, and the little bear was even more worried. He was lying in his bed feeling not well, and worrying that the people at his work wouldn't like him any more, and fretting away and getting quite upset.

Then the little bear went to see his doctor, who told him that everything was really allright and that he shouldn't worry... but this didn't really help. The little bear still felt horrible. And he was upset, because the doctor had told him that there was nothing really wrong with him. Poor little bear.

Luckily the little bear slept nicely, and then he met some friends, and was a bit distracted and then felt a bit better. Big bear was very glad that little was feeling better.
