Question

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

In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the USA, 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 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 (昵称).

In 1913, a captain (上尉）named Harry Coleboum paid 20 dollars for a black bear which was bom in the Canadian countryside. The captain’s hometown, Winnipeg, was the origin (起源、）of the bear’s name. In Winnipeg, Winnie served (服务）as the mascot (吉祥物).When World War I 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.
