I don't yet have any children of my own, so I completely dote on my sister's little girl and I love spoiling her with different presents and treats whenever I see her, but this year I was having a hard time thinking what to get her for Christmas until I saw a little girl in the airport hugging a singing bear. Thinking back on it now, I should have just gone over and asked them where they had gotten the bear, but I didn't have the guts to go and annoy these complete strangers and ask where they had gotten a child's toy.
But the bear stayed on my mind all that night and the more I thought about it, the more sure I felt that it would be just the right gift for her, as she loves both teddy bears and music. I didn't charge my laptop batteries before getting on that specific flight, so I couldn't look on the Internet for the same bear or something similar and the airline magazines had nothing even remotely like it available.
When I arrived at my destination, I was caught away in all of my business meetings and seminars and I had not written myself a reminder to look for it when I got back home, so the bear was forgotten for a time. A little while later, I found myself in a giant toy store looking for a present for my niece but couldn't find anything that I thought she would really like, when all of a sudden I remembered the bear and ran to ask the clerk where I could find such a thing.
I was told that they did not sell anything like what I was describing, so I went back home and started looking on the Internet as I should have done in the first place. Luckily, I was quickly able to find a website that sold a musical bear that was exactly what I saw the little girl holding in the airport and made a purchase as soon as I saw it.
I had it shipped to my apartment so that I could wrap it and carry it with me in my luggage when I went to visit my sister for Christmas, hoping that my niece would love it. I shouldn't have worried, because when she unwrapped it on Christmas morning, she emitted a shriek of total delight that almost ruptured my eardrums and began snuggling the bear while it played such lovely music.
