(Renee-a beautiful
princess; Broo-a blue bear; Nahloo- a magical place )
When the Princess Renee heard about Broo,
she came down from her castle. She found Broo while he was busy eating honey.
"Mr. Bear," the Princess said, "you
are welcome in Nahloo. Here we share with each other. We don't take things from
each other.
Broo thought about it for
a moment and realized that he had made a mistake. "Well," he said, "maybe
drinking all that milk wasn't the best idea."
The Princess continued, "Mr. Bear, you
can drink and eat, but you won't feel good because you have never made any
contributions to anyone else. I think you'll find that it is better to be full
in your heart, not just in your stomach. "After saying this, the Princess'
went back to the castle, leaving Broo alone.
One day, Broo was going to take lots of
cookies from the rabbits. He remembered what the Princess said to him. So Broo
decided not to eat the cookies. The rabbits were surprised and said, "Thank
you for your kindness, Mr. Bear. Now these cookies will taste sweeter because
they are given by you, my friend. If you like, come back tomorrow and we can
have the cookies together.
Broo was filled with joy and went through
the land. He gave back everything he had taken. In return, he received a
promise from everyone to share their food with him. Broo was so delighted that
he started dancing in the moonlight with the Princess as his partner.
