It was Sunday morning in the cozy bear house.
Pitter-patter! Baby Bear ran to the kitchen.
“What’s that yummy smell?” asked Baby Bear.
Papa Bear stood by the big stove.
He wore his favorite blue apron.
“Sizzle-sizzle!” The pan made happy sounds.
Papa poured in the golden pancake mix.
“Is it pancake time, Papa?” Baby Bear jumped up and down.
Papa Bear gave a big smile. “Yes, my little cub!”
“Pop-pop!” went the bubbles.
Baby Bear’s tummy made a funny sound. “Growl-growl!“
“Flip!” Papa tossed a pancake high.
Baby Bear clapped with joy. “Do it again!“
The sweet smell floated out the window.
Tap-tap-tap! Someone knocked at the door.
“Who’s there?” called Papa Bear.
“It’s the Rabbit Family!” said Mama Rabbit.
“And Little Mouse too!” squeaked a tiny voice.
Baby Bear ran to open the door.
“We smelled your yummy pancakes,” said Little Mouse.
Papa Bear smiled wide. “Come in, friends!”
“Can they stay for breakfast?” asked Baby Bear.
“That’s a wonderful idea,” said Papa.
He made a big stack of golden pancakes.
One for Baby Bear.
Two for the rabbits.
Three for Little Mouse.
“Mmmm!” everyone said together.
Baby Bear looked at his special plate.
He saw Little Mouse’s empty plate.
“Would you like one more pancake?” Baby Bear asked.
Little Mouse’s eyes grew big. “Yes, please!”
Baby Bear shared his pancakes with joy.
“Here’s the sweet syrup,” he said.
He passed it to the Rabbit Family.
“Thank you!” the bunnies said.
Papa Bear’s heart felt warm and happy.
“You are a wonderful sharer,” Papa said.
Baby Bear’s smile grew bigger and bigger.
“Sharing makes everyone happy!” he said.
Soon all the plates were empty.
“That was the best breakfast ever!” said Little Mouse.
Baby Bear gave everyone big hugs.
Papa Bear patted his little cub’s head.
“I’m proud of you,” he whispered.
“Can we have a pancake party again?” asked Baby Bear.
Everyone nodded and smiled.
“Sunday is pancake day!“
