Mia wakes up. Sun is up. Mia smiles. “Good morning, Teddy!” she says. Teddy is her friend. Teddy is soft. Teddy is brown. Mia hugs Teddy. “Let's play!” says Mia.
Mia and Teddy go to the living room. Mommy is there. “Hello, Mia! Hello, Teddy!” says Mommy. Mia laughs. “Blocks, Teddy?” asks Mia. Teddy sits. Mia builds a tower. Block, block, block. The tower gets tall.
Teddy tries to help. Oh no! The tower falls down. Mia looks at Teddy. Teddy looks at Mia. Mia feels sad. “It's okay, Teddy,” says Mia. “We can try again.” Mia smiles. Teddy smiles too.
Mia takes Teddy's hand. “Let's build together,” says Mia. Mommy helps too. Block, block, block. The tower gets tall again. Mia claps. “Yay, Teddy!” says Mia. Teddy is happy.
Mia and Teddy sit. Mia shares her snack. “Apple, Teddy?” Mia asks. Teddy nods. Mia gives Teddy a piece. Mia eats too. Crunch, crunch. Mia and Teddy giggle.
Later, Mia sees her brother. He wants to play. “Come, Teddy!” Mia says. They all play. They share blocks. They share hugs. They share smiles.
Mia feels warm. “I love my friends,” says Mia. Teddy is her friend. Her brother is her friend. Mommy is her friend too.
Mia hugs Teddy. “Friends help each other,” says Mia. “Friends share. Friends care.” Mia smiles. Teddy smiles. They are happy. Friends are special. Friends are forever.
