A lovely story about a bear's first love A bear writes a letter to his friend Mimi and asks her to meet him. He tells her he will wait for her in the field of flowers. Since morning, his heart has been going pit-a-pat, and as he waits for her, he counts flower petals to see if she will come. Will she come? She won’t come? He counts over and over again, but it ends with her not coming. The bear is so upset and disappointed that he decides not to wait for her. He lies in the field and looks blankly at the sky. But even the clouds in the sky look like Mimi. “I miss her. I don’t miss her. I miss her. I don’t miss her...” Finally, the bear stands up and runs to see Mimi.
