The Four Bears story

The FOUR Bears Story

Once upon a time, there were four friends and they were all bears. Their names were:

• Big Bear - one musician plays Big Bear's motif (low pitch, loud)
• Tiny Bear - one musician plays Tiny Bear's motif (high pitch, quiet)
• Busy Bear - one musician plays Busy Bear's motif (fast and jumpy)
• Lazy Bear - one musician plays Lazy Bear's motif (slow and sleepy)

One day, when the bears were exploring in the forest, they came across a little house. They all looked through the window. At a signal from you, the musicians play very quiet, random sounds on their instrument.

The bears sat down outside to eat their picnic. Lazy Bear was tired so he lay down for a rest. Play Lazy Bear's motif.

After a while, Big Bear crept into in the house and found … a piano. He played a tune while the other bears listened. Play Big Bear's motif.

Next, Tiny Bear went in the house and played a tune on the piano. Play Tiny Bear's motif.

Busy Bear went in the house and danced around excitedly. Play Busy Bear's motif.

Soon the bears were all so tired that they lay down quietly, curled up and went to sleep ... all except for Lazy Bear who suddenly woke up and wondered why the other bears were so tired! Play Lazy Bear's motif.
