Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

In a bright green field, there was a small castle. Inside, lived Sir Teddy, the kind knight. Sir Teddy loved to dream. He dreamed of big quests and shiny dragons. One sunny day, Sir Teddy put on his soft armor and shiny hat. Sir Teddy picked up his brave shield and said, “Let's go!”

Sir Teddy walked to the tall, tall tree. A little bird was there. The bird said, “My red ball is up high!” Sir Teddy smiled and said, “I can help.” Sir Teddy thought. Sir Teddy looked at the branches. Sir Teddy climbed, step by step. Sir Teddy was careful. Sir Teddy reached the ball. “Here you go!” said Sir Teddy. The little bird cheered, “Thank you, Sir Teddy!”

Sir Teddy walked on. Next, Sir Teddy saw a gentle bunny. The bunny's basket was stuck in the bush. Sir Teddy said, “I will help!” Sir Teddy pulled, pulled, and out came the basket. The bunny clapped. “You are strong, Sir Teddy!”

Sir Teddy went back to the castle. Sir Teddy felt happy. Sir Teddy was brave. Sir Teddy was smart. Sir Teddy helped friends.

When we are kind and brave, we can help others and feel happy.
