Arthur's Honey Bear

Arthur's Honey Bear

It was spring-cleaning day. Violet was cleaning out her toy chest. She made two piles of toys. One to keep, and one to put away. Arthur was sticking stamps into his stamp album.

" I am going to clean out my toy chest too, " said Arthur. “ And I am going to have a Tag Sale. " “ What is a Tag Sale?” asked Violet. “ A Tag Sale is when you sell your old junk, " said Arthur. " I don't have any old junk, " said Violet. “ I want to keep all of my toys. "

“ When I was little, " said Arthur, " I wanted to keep all of my toys too. But now I want to sell some of them. " Arthur began to clean out his toy chest. He took a pile of toys to the back steps.

Arthur took his Hula-Hoop, his Yo-Yo, a pile of finger paintings, and his china horse. He took his Noah's Ark, his baby King Kong, his sand-box set, his Old Maid cards, and his rocks and marbles.

Then he took out his Honey Bear. " Father gave me Honey Bear when I had the chicken pox, ” said Arthur. “ Honey Bear always tasted my medicine for me when I was sick. " Arthur moved Honey Bear behind baby King Kong.
