The tree near the stream

Mr Bear went to the tree near the stream each day since the weekend began on Friday and did not see the Bunny for a while. He felt sad as he thought he lost another friend. He missed her.

Mr Bear went early to go and sit under the tree on a Monday morning to reminisce and find peace by the stream and along hopped the Bunny.
He smiled broadly and nodded.
She smiled equally and hopped.

"Where was the Little Bunny the weekend?" he asked sincerely with a smile.
"Mr Bear should know that sometimes I do not feel well and get nightmares about wolves, so I hid the weekend"
"Little Bunny.... you shouldn't be so scared. You have a friend now who will look after you."
"Does Mr Bear really mean that?"
"Yes Little Bunny. Bear wouldn't be here waiting if I was not" he said with a smile.
The Little bunny hugged Mr Bear and he got a little fright.

"What is wrong? Doesn't Mr Bear like hugs?"
"Little Bunny should know that I did not get hugs since I was a small cub... It feels new..."
"Wow Mr Bear! I'm sorry"
"Do not be sorry Little Bunny. It is still new for me... but it is nice...." he said and smiled.
The Little Bunny smiled back.

The Little Bunny gave him another hug and she liked the way Mr Bear got so nervous.
"Do I scare Mr Bear?"
He laughed and said "No, Little Bunny. I'm just a nervous Bear" and he laughed further.

She enjoyed his company as he was not one who would hurt someone. She sensed something about him that was untold.
He enjoyed her company as well. She had this certain spontaneous energy and sees a greatness in her.

"Little Bunny, what sits under a tree, fallen, one big and one small?"
"Uhm.... a bunny and a bear??"
"No Little Bunny... two really odd nuts!"
They laughed and the two odd pals sat under the tree and talked the day away...
