CORDUROY

CORDUROY is a story of a bear named Corduroy that lived in toy section of a department store. One day a little girl, named Lisa, saw him and wanted to buy him, but her mother said no. She said she had spent enough money already and the bear looked old and was missing a button. That night Corduroy searched the store for his button. He climbed on a mattress and found several, but when he pulled on them he could not get them off. When he finally popped the button off the mattress he flew to the ground and knocked over a lamp. The security guard heard this and took Corduroy back to the toy department. The very next morning Lisa came back to the store and bought Corduroy with all the money she had been saving. She took Corduroy home and sewed on a new button for him. Both Corduroy and Lisa got what they wanted, a friend.

This story shows that good things do not always have to be new and shinny. Sometimes the best things are old and need fixing. I myself have had many old toys that were my favorites.
