“There's a bare patch on the back lawn!”

Said Dad one hot, dry summer's day

So I peered out of the window and surprisingly I saw:

A polar bear avoiding the heat relaxing in a freezing ice bath

A spectacled bear strangely not wearing any spectacles at all

A giant panda chomping away on a huge pile of bamboo

A grizzly bear being extremely grizzly

A koala climbing a tree insisting she was in fact not a bear but a marsupial

And many other bears I'm sure I recognised:

A suitcase-carrying bear newly arrived from Peru

A cute cuddly bear dipping his paws in a massive honey pot accompanied by a gloomy-faced donkey and a springy tiger

An old-fashioned white bear wearing matching yellow chequered trousers and scarf and a red top

A trio of bears constantly complaining about a young girl breaking into their house, messing up their furniture and eating their porridge

A fuzzy brown bear dressed in just a hat and tie telling terrible jokes to a frog and a pig - “Waka! Waka!”

A singing and dancing bear searching for Mowgli - his best friend from the jungle

“WHAT AN AMAZING, ASTONISHING, INCREDIBLE SCENE!” I screamed

And my little sister replied “That's nothing - check out our next-door neighbour's dinosaur patch!
