Sananns and Zpheal were walking along one sunny day when they decided to stop by a pet shop. The pet shop had all the typical pets in it. Dogs, cats, fish, finches, lizards, T-Rexs, and polar bears. They look at each group of pets standing behind the glass until they came to the very last cage. This cage had a sign on the window reading “Careful, very dangerous.” They looked into the cage. It appeared to be pempty at first. In fact, all that was in there was a small teddy bear.

“What is so dangerous about that?” Zpheal wondered aloud.

“I don’t know,” Sananns whispered back.

“Let’s tell the staff that we will adopt it, it’ll be a good laugh.”

The pair went to the front desk and told the woman sitting there that they would like to adopt the teddy bear in the last cage. The woman looked at them, shocked.

“You- you want to adopt the teddy bear?”

“Yes,” said Sananns.

“Are you serious?”

“We are,” said Zpheal.

“Okay then…”

The woman got out the adoption papers. Zpheal and Sananns filled them out, surprised that the woman was going along with their joke. She even took the teddy bear out of the cage and put it on a leash for them.

“Here you are,” she said. “I hope you guys know what you’re doing.”

The two assured her that they were experts at raising teddy bears and left the shop. Things went fine until it bit Sananns’s finger.

“OUCH! IT BIT ME!”

“Oh come on Sananns, you and I both know its not living.”

“NO, SERIOUSLY, LOOK AT THIS!” Sananns held up his finger. Sure enough, it was bleeding. The teddy bear had what looked to be an evil smile on its face.> As Zpheal peered at the bear, it suddenly lunged at his face. He narrowly dodged the bear’s attack. The two ended up fighting the teddy bear, who was remarkably skilled at martial arts. After getting bitten several times, they managed to subdue the stuffed animal.

They pondered over what to do with the toy. They couldn’t take it back to the pet shop, that would be shameful. They decided to lock it in a cage and tame it themselves. With a little love it could become a good bear.

They named the teddy bear Pablito. They took it to many places such as: the zoo, the fair, the grocery store, the park, and restaurants. They also took him to see the jail, to scare him from ever wanting to commit crime again. They even told him a story about Ayancito, the famous assassin who had been arrested for failed assassination attempts too many times to count.

As Pablito grew to be less violent, he also grew to be more lethargic and docile until one day he was just like a regular teddy bear. While Pablito no longer moves on his own, his voice can still be heard comforting those who are greatly distressed.
