The Bear Who Tried to Whisper 🐻

🌳 🪺 🐦 💤 🐻 Shhh… I'll be very quiet.

Benny the Bear tiptoes over and finds a little bird sleeping in a nest. 🐦

✨

🐻 🐰

HELLO, RABBIT! That's your whisper?!

He practices his whisper on his rabbit friend. WHOOSH — the rabbit's ears fly straight up! 🐰

🌳 🍃 🍃 🍃 🐻 gooood morning…

Benny tries again, even softer… and every leaf shakes off the tree! 🍃

💨 🐻 🌼 tiny… tiny… voice…

He practices his tiny voice into a flower. *whoooosh* — the poor flower bends all the way back! 🌼

🐻 👃 Oh no… Ah… ah… AH…

Suddenly — a tickle right in his nose! 🤧 Oh no, oh no, oh no…

🐻 ✖️✖️ 🐾🐾 MMMMMPH!

Benny clamps down on the sneeze — puffy cheeks, paws over his nose. He does NOT want to wake the bird! 😣

🐦 🐻 Are you okay? …yes.

Too late — the little bird wakes up, hops down, and looks at him. "Are you okay?" "…yes." 🥲

AAAAACHOOOO!

🐦 🐻

😂 ❤️ Sorry. I'm still learning to whisper too.

The bird sneezes AAAAACHOOOO! and Benny falls backward laughing. "Sorry — I'm still learning to whisper too." 😂❤️
