Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Sue. She was very proud of her toy bear, named Teddy. Teddy was soft and cuddly, and Sue loved the feel of his fur.
One day, Sue saw a big bowl of paint. She thought it would be fun to paint Teddy. So, she dipped Teddy into the paint. But, when she pulled him out, she saw that his fur was all messy and sticky. Sue didn't like the new feel of Teddy's fur. She felt regret for painting him.
Sue's mommy saw what happened and helped her wash Teddy. They scrubbed and scrubbed until the paint was gone. Teddy's fur was soft and cuddly again. Sue was so happy and promised never to paint Teddy again. She learned that she should be proud of Teddy just the way he is.
