Little Bear loved skiing. Every day, Little Bear put on the red skis and swooshed down the snowy hill. "Whoosh, whoosh!" went Little Bear.
Little Bear wanted friends to ski with. "Hello, Fox!" said Little Bear. "Do you want to ski?" But Fox was busy.
"Hello, Bunny!" said Little Bear. "Do you want to ski?" But Bunny was busy.
One day, Little Bear met Tiger. Tiger was skiing on the other hill. "Hello, Tiger!" said Little Bear. "Want to ski together?"
Tiger smiled. "Yes, let's ski!" said Tiger. So, Little Bear and Tiger skied together. "Whoosh, whoosh!" they went, side by side.
A big race was coming. Little Bear and Tiger wanted to race. But the sky turned gray. Winds began to blow. "Oh no, the race!" said Little Bear.
Tiger looked up. "It is okay," said Tiger. "We can ski together anyway."
Little Bear smiled. "Yes, we can ski together."
The wind was strong. Snow swirled around. But Little Bear and Tiger skied together. "Whoosh, whoosh!"
Little Bear laughed. "This is fun!" said Little Bear.
"Yes, it is fun!" said Tiger, smiling.
They skied and skied, helping each other. Little Bear tripped, but Tiger helped. Tiger slipped, but Little Bear helped. "Thank you, Tiger," said Little Bear.
"Thank you, Little Bear," said Tiger. They felt happy inside.
The sky cleared. The sun peeked out. Little Bear smiled. "We did it," said Little Bear.
"We are a good team," said Tiger.
Little Bear and Tiger were friends. They skied every day. They learned about teamwork. They learned about fun. "Whoosh, whoosh!" they went.
Little Bear and Tiger skied on, happy and together. They knew sports were not about winning. Sports were about friends and fun.
