Hey, Mr. Teddy, would you please tell me, what I will learn when I learn how to ski? Teddy smiled at his friend, "Here's what I know. It's what my pals learned having fun on the snow." "Martens dress to stay warm, it's well worth the hassle, five jackets, four mittens, and a hat with a tassel." "When bunnies fall down, they laugh right out loud. If they bounce up by themselves, it makes them feel proud."
