English Original
Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Ben. On his first birthday, his parents gave him a soft brown teddy bear. Ben carried his teddy bear everywhere, even sleeping with it every night.
As Ben grew, he got his own bedroom and a big bed, but he still took his bear to zoos, parks, and even school. It was his favorite toy.
When Ben became a teenager, he grew more interested in video games and friends. He stopped taking the bear with him, which made the bear sad, though Ben still placed it by his bed each night.
After high school, Ben went to university in the big city. His mother put most of his toys in the attic but kept the special teddy bear on a shelf. Ben's visits home were short and busy, and he often forgot about the bear, who missed the old days.
Ben graduated, got a job, and moved to the city. He visited home only briefly on weekends, sometimes not seeing the bear at all. The lonely teddy bear often sat crying in the dark, hoping his friend would take him away, but it never happened.
Later, Ben got married and had a baby boy. One day, remembering his old teddy bear, Ben thought his son would love it. He ran to his old room, grabbed the bear from the shelf, and gave it to his baby.
The baby was delighted and wouldn't let go of the bear all day. That night, and every night after, the teddy bear slept next to Ben's son, who, just like his father, took it everywhere. The teddy bear was happy again, loved by both his old friend and his new one.

从前，有个名叫本的小男孩。在他一岁生日时，父母送给他一只柔软的棕色泰迪熊。本走到哪里都带着他的泰迪熊，每晚也抱着它入睡。
本长大了，有了自己的卧室和大床，但他仍然带着泰迪熊去动物园、公园，甚至学校。泰迪熊是他最喜爱的玩具。
当本进入青春期，他对电子游戏和朋友越来越感兴趣。他不再随身带着泰迪熊，这让小熊有些难过，不过本每晚仍会把它放在床边。
高中毕业后，本去大城市上大学。母亲把他大部分的玩具收进了阁楼，但将这只特别的泰迪熊留在了架子上。本回家的时间短暂而忙碌，常常忘了小熊，小熊则怀念着往日的美好时光。
本大学毕业后在城市找到了工作并定居下来。他只在周末短暂回家，有时甚至见不到小熊。孤独的泰迪熊常在黑暗中独自哭泣，期盼着最好的朋友能带它离开，但这从未发生。
后来，本结婚了，并有了一个儿子。一天，本想起了他的旧泰迪熊，觉得儿子一定会喜欢。他跑回旧房间，从架子上抓起小熊，送给了他的宝宝。
宝宝高兴极了，一整天都不愿放下小熊。从那晚起，泰迪熊每晚都睡在本的儿子的身旁。这个孩子像他父亲小时候一样，走到哪里都带着它。泰迪熊再次快乐起来，它既被老朋友深爱，也拥有了新朋友的爱。
