Anna loved her soft teddy bear. She always hugged him and played with him. He was her best friend. She had many happy memories with him. He made her smile every day.
One day, Anna went to the park with her mom and dad. She brought her teddy bear with her. She wanted to show him the flowers and the birds. She put him on a bench while she ran to the swings. She smiled and laughed as she swung high in the air.
But when she came back to the bench, her teddy bear was gone. Someone had taken him. Anna looked everywhere, but she could not find him. She cried and cried. She felt very sad and scared. She wanted her teddy bear back.
Her mom and dad tried to comfort her. They said they would buy her a new teddy bear. But Anna did not want a new teddy bear. She wanted her old teddy bear. He was special. He had her smell and her love. He had her memories.
Anna never smiled again. She missed her teddy bear so much. She wished she had never left him on the bench. She wished she had never gone to the park. She wished she had stayed at home with him. She wished he was still with her.
