Suddenly, a huge purple teddy bear that smelled like strawberries came to the aid of the searchers.

Fred had long ago fallen asleep under a big oak and was happily dreaming on pansies.

Fran was hopping down the road, singing happily as she went on her adventure.

She came across an unusually thin tree, which seemed shiny.

"Hmm, I wonder what this is," she mused.

"Weird," she said. "now whyyyyyyyyyyy would anyone put a lamppost in the middle of nowhere like this?"

Fred, woke up to find it was snowing, "Oh great now were going to have all this beastly snow!" He exclaimed as he got up (shivering) and wandered through the woods.

A beaver scurried away right by where Fred was, and almost squished him.

"GAH!" He quite loudly exclaimed. "Whatchit, you, you, you beaver!"

Before he knew it, four children nearly squished him too.

"AAH!" Fred screamed as he made a dart up the nearest tree.

Consequently, the tree showered fresh snow all over him, and Fannie, who had been looking for him.

"Fannie!" Cried Fred!

"Get down here!" Fannie looked around nervously— what if someone saw Fred acting this way?

Frank rushed to the scene, and thought the whole thing rather funny, Fred and Fannie half-covered in snow, and yelling at each other. He burst out laughing, which was rather unwise. Fannie threw an extremely forceful snowball at him and disappeared under the snow again.
