It was almost winter and Bear was getting sleepy.
But first, Bear had a story to tell . . .
And so Bear sets out to tell his friends, but with winter fast approaching they are all far too busy to listen. By the time Bear is through helping his friends get ready for winter, will anyone still be awake to hear his story?
