A Teddy Bear named TED
Oxford Street, London. Famed for the Oxford Circus. On Oxford Street 1, Shop #526 is Mothercare. A shop for young growing families ... A shop with lots of toys for the kids... This story is of a Teddy Bear brought in when the shop was just opening. Ted
Ted was brought in as a mascot for the shop. Everyone loved him, he loved everyone back. The customers loved to pet it, and the owner believed it was responsible for doubling the business. The situation was all hunky-dory .. Until ..
The shop was very big now and the Owner decided to bring in some new teddies.. Ted took on the task of training them, to show them how to behave in the shop, how to react to the love shown by customers, and to give them an idea of their duties and responsilbities. Among the new lot was a cute she bear. Dorothy.
Dorothy took an immediate liking to Ted. His caring attitude won her over, and quite oblivious to Ted, she was falling for him. The days they spent together fortified her liking for him. And one fine day she told him. Ted already liked her, and when he heard this, his joy knew no bounds. After all, someone like him had told him he was loved.
The days ahead were the most memorable for them. They spent whatever time they could find, together. They talked for hours on together. Ted had never known such love in his life and he was happy for it.
Things took on a turn for the worse one fine day. The owner was opening shop in another corner of London, and since he believed Ted was a lucky mascot, he wanted to put him there. The day the decision was known, Ted and Dorothy sat and looked each other in the eyes, no words spoken. They knew the time had come, thought no one wanted to say Good Bye. They knew the owner was being selfish, but what could they do?
The day Ted was taken away, both cried... Tears that may or may not dry... Would there be another Ted? Would there be another Dorothy?
