  Many of us have ever loved the two toy bears—a brown Teddy bear and a yellow Winnie-the-Pooh bear. The two toy bears come from real stories in life.

   In 1902,Theodore Roosevelt,President of theUSA. went on hunting. The hunting dogs found an old bear in the forest near Washington   D. C. and the guide asked the president to shoot it. But President Roosevelt disagreed. A cartoonist (漫畫家) drew a cartoon showing that the president refused to shoot the bear. Soon,the bear began to appear in other newspapers. People named the bear Teddy which was Theodore's nickname (昵稱) .

   In 1913， a captain named Harry Colebourn paid 20 dollars for a black bear which was born in the Canadian countryside. The captain⁵s hometown,Winnipeg,

was the origin (起源) of the bear's name. In Winnipeg,Winnie served as the mascot (吉祥物) . When World War 1 began,the captain went to France. Winnie was sent to London Zoo which many kids often visited. Because of its lovely look,the bear became popular with children.
