Then Theodore began to notice that he was hungry because he hadn't had anything to eat
in days. "I'm starved. What have we got to eat?"
"There are some chocolate truffles with a red cherry in the middle on the table
that I saved just for you. With a nice mug of chocolate milk, I bet that would make your
tummy feel real good," said Tilly-Bear.
"But what are you going to eat?" asked Theodore.
"Oh, I'll find something," Tilly-Bear replied. But Theodore knew there was
nothing for her to eat.
"Tilly-Bear," said Theodore, "I can't eat the truffles and let you go
hungry. Jesus wouldn't do that. If Jesus had some truffles and there was a teddy bear that
had nothing to eat, he would share it along with his chocolate milk. Besides, if we share
the truffles it'll be a way to celebrate and I'm ready to have some fun."
So the two bears shared the truffles and the chocolate milk, and then sat down by the
river to soak up the sun and do some fishing.
