Barry the Shy BearReading Text
Barry is a shy bear. He lives in a big forest. One morning, Barry wakes up and needs to go to the toilet. He wants to be alone, but the forest is full of animals! Birds fly in the sky and other animals are in the bushes. He cannot find a private place. An old bear named Brenda tells him to go to a cabin nearby.
