In the heart of the sunny Clearwood Forest, there lived a happy bear named Snoode. He loved to smile.

Every morning, Snoode would greet his friends with a big, warm hug and a loud, cheerful 'Good morning!'

Today was special; Snoode decided to draw a picture. He found the perfect spot near a babbling brook.

With his crayons and paper, Snoode thought hard. ‘What makes me happy?’ he pondered, tapping his furry chin.

‘Aha!’ he exclaimed. ‘My forest friends!’ With a wide grin, he began to draw all his wonderful friends.

First, he drew Bella the Butterfly. Her wings were as colorful as the flowers she fluttered over.

Then, he drew Fred the Frog, who loved to leap from lily pad to lily pad with delight.

Snoode giggled as he sketched the playful squirrels, Max and Mimi, chasing each other around the old oak tree.

He didn’t forget wise Mr. Owl, who watched over the forest from above, cozy in his tree hollow.

Looking at his drawing, Snoode felt a burst of joy. His heart felt full with love for his friends.

He showed his picture to all his friends, and together they celebrated their friendship with laughter and fun.

As the sun set, Snoode realized that happiness wasn't just in the drawing, but in the love all around him.
