Down south in Georgia, there was a little house made out of bricks. A family with a mom named Alice, a dad named Tim, an aunt named Alizabith, a girl named Alexandra and a boy named Colten lived in the little house made out of bricks.


Alice was 33 years old, Alizatith was 30, Tim was 48, Alexandra was 10, and sweet little Colten was 5 years old. Their cats were Fluffy, the mom and her kittens Mayo, Kit and Jank.


It was 5:30 in the morning and everyone was eating breakfast, except Alizabith. She just got a new job as an artist. She was drawing something unusual when her sister Alice called her to eat. " What's for breakfast? " she asked. " Eggs, bacon, toast with butter and juice, " said mom. The were talking at the big red table, when Alizabith said, " because of my new job... " and she took a big breath " we are going to have to move. "
" Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! " shrieked everyone. Then Alice said " but we can't move! " " Why? " said Colten. " Because I will lose my job, " said father. " But I will get more money and we still have your saved money, " said Alizabith. " You're right, " said mother.


So they hired a moving truck and they all moved to Texas. When they got there Alizabith kept drawing her unusual picture. Then Alice came running in and shouted... " I GOT A JOB AS A TOY MAKER! " " So, you invent toys? " asked Colten. " Yep " said Alice. Then they all unpacked, happily. The next day Alizabith finished a picture of her BLUE BEAR!!!!! Alice saw it and got an idea.


When Alice got to work she drew a quick sketch of the blue teddy bear that she had seen Alizabith draw. Then she sent it in to her boss who said " Wonderful! " The boss put it in the pirnter and gave a picture of the blue teddy bear to be make.
Everyone in town had one of the blue teddy bears.

Alice and her family were rich now. One night when everyone was in bed, Alizabith heard something strange. She just layed in bed, and then went to sleep. In the kitchen the blue bear was jumping out of the painting and started drawing more blue bears like itself. Soon all of the blue bears were jumping out of the paintings.


In the morning when the family woke up and saw all of the blue bears they screamed " ALIZABITH!!!! " They ran around screaming trying to catch the blue bears. At the end of the day all of the blue bears had been caught and put in bags.


Alice said " How are we going to put them back into the paintings? " " I know, " said Tim. " We can paint them back in. " It worked! Then Alice quit her job and Alizabith just sold her paintings at garage sales. Everybody lived happily ever after.
