Once upon a time, in a cozy forest blanketed with snow, there lived a friendly bear named Sayge. Sayge loved two things the most: riding the big, yellow bus that traveled all around the forest and making new friends wherever he went. One chilly morning, he decided it was time for a new adventure. With a warm scarf wrapped around his neck, Sayge waddled to the bus stop, waiting for the bus to take him somewhere fun.
As the bus rolled in, puffing clouds of white, Sayge climbed aboard and greeted the driver, a kind snowman named Jamison. Jamison had a carrot nose that would wiggle when he laughed, and today it was wiggling a lot because he was happy to see Sayge. "Off to make new friends?" Jamison asked as he steered the bus down the snowy road. Sayge nodded with excitement.
During the ride, Sayge looked out the window, and there, on the side of the road, was a tiny ant struggling in the snow. Sayge knew he had to help. He asked Jamison to stop the bus. The snowman gladly hit the brakes, and Sayge hopped off to assist the little ant, whose name was Granny. Sayge gently lifted Granny and brought her onto the bus, where it was warm and cozy.
Granny was so grateful to Sayge and Jamison that she shared her secret stash of delicious cookies, which she had been carrying back to her ant hill. They all enjoyed the cookies together, laughing and sharing stories. The bus trip continued, with Granny now on board, and the three new friends felt their hearts grow warmer with each mile.
As night approached, the bus returned to Sayge's stop. He said goodbye to Granny and Jamison, promising to see them again soon. Sayge made his way home, feeling happy about his day. He had not only found joy in helping someone in need but also made two wonderful new friends.
That night, as stars twinkled above the quiet forest, Sayge fell asleep with a smile on his face. He learned that it doesn't matter how big or small you are or where you're going; being nice and helping others brings the greatest joy.
