Backou, the courageous teddy bear

Chapter 7 – Backou loves honey

Backou’s parents continue to teach him how to mature. His sister, who is older, goes searching for honey. Backou wants to accompany her because honey is so good.

-Yes, says Papa Bear. To reward you for your courage, we will let you look for honey. But, listen carefully to your big sister so you do not scare the bees or else they will sting.

Backou and his sister Canelle rush into the forest but to the other side of the river. There are lots of wild flowers there. Canelle knows and loves them all. She explains to her little brother:

-The bees transform the nectar of each flower into honey and you have to eat much honey to become strong.

-Oh yes Canelle, I can eat a lot of it.

-OK then, we will eat some but not all Backou. To make their honey, bees work very hard. Much harder than we do. In winter, we sleep under shelter in the cave. The bees do not. So you watch me do it and then you can try, says Canelle.

Backou learns but this time with Canelle.

-I love growing up, especially with you Canelle. When I will be older like Papa, I can feed my family too!
