Paddington

Watch the original version of Paddington

Prologue

In the dimly lit depths of London’s world-famous Natural History Museum, a taxidermist lurked, scanning the room for any sign of an intruder. His eyes seem to linger longest on an old, dilapidated teddy bear, perched on a pedestal in the corner. Little did he know, a very special secret was hidden beneath the fur, something he would soon discover.

Chapter 1: The Arrival

Paddington Bear had been shoved inside a cramped, stuffy shipping container for days, as it made its way from the far-off jungles of Peru. Despite being shaken about and subjected to the occasional tropical storm, Paddington was unharmed and in surprisingly good spirits.

Finally, after a few days at sea, the container arrived in London. ‘This should be interesting’, thought Paddington, as he looked around the unfamiliar new city. After gathering up what few belongings he had, Paddington started wandering the streets, stopping off here and there to take in the sights.

He was most amused and a little bit scared when a group of screaming school kids chased him through the streets and almost caught him before he managed to duck into an alley. “I need to find somewhere safe and quiet”, he muttered to himself.

Chapter 2: The Brown Family

After his narrow escape, Paddington was determined to find a place where he could stay and be safe. It was while he was wandering around that he stumbled across a little family living in a large brick house.

As he peered through the window, the family were sitting down to dinner. Paddington watched in amazement as an array of food was served up. He was just about to turn away and continue his search for a safe place, when he heard the family calling out “Paddington”.

Startled, Paddington looked up to see a kindly looking man smiling at him through the window. “Come inside, won’t you? I think we have something that belongs to you”. With that, Paddington stepped through the door and into the warmth and comfort of the Brown family home.

Chapter 3: A New Home

The Browns welcomed Paddington with open arms, and soon he was settling into life with his new family. He quickly formed a strong bond with the youngest Brown, Jonathan, and was often seen helping him with his math homework and playing make-believe games.

Mr. Brown, however, had other ideas. Always a little skeptical of Paddington’s presence, he decided it would be best to put the bear to work around the house. Thus, Paddington was given the job of keeping the garden tidy and the living room clean.

But despite their differences, Paddington was happy to be part of a family again. He quickly gained the affection of the entire household, and even started becoming a bit of a celebrity among the neighbors.

Chapter 4: Trouble with the Taxidermist

Life with the Browns was mostly peaceful and happy. But one day, a menacing figure arrived at the front door of the house. It was the taxidermist from the museum, and he was there to reclaim the stuffed bear that Paddington had been brought in.

Paddington hid under the bed, shaking with fear as the taxi driver made his case. Mr. Brown argued valiantly that the bear had been given to Paddington as a gift, and that the taxidermist had no reason to take him away.

Eventually, the taxidermist gave up, leaving in a huff. Paddington was safe…for now.

Chapter 5: The Great Escape

The taxidermist’s sudden departure had left the Browns shaken and worried. To make matters worse, Paddington learned that the taxidermist had left a trail of clues, in an effort to track him down.

That night, Paddington decided that the only way to keep himself and the Browns safe was to escape. He packed up his belongings, shed a few tears, and made his way to the rooftops.

From his high vantage point, Paddington could make out the lights of the London Eye and the Natural History Museum. Taking a deep breath, he started running, determined to stay one step ahead of the taxidermist. He was officially on the run.

Chapter 6: A New Life

Paddington ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, never looking back. He managed to slip past the taxidermist, who had been hot on his trail, and hid in the shadows of the London Eye.

For weeks, Paddington kept on the move, never staying in one place for too long. But eventually, he settled into a routine. He found work at a nearby market, selling fruit and vegetables, and made friends with some of the other animals in the area.

One day, Paddington decided to take a trip to the Natural History Museum. He peered curiously into the glass cases, wondering why it seemed so familiar. Suddenly, he realized with a start – the teddy bear in the corner was none other than himself!

He hurried home and told the other animals the remarkable story of how he’d gone from a stuffed bear, hidden away in a museum, to a much-loved member of the community.

Paddington spent the rest of his days living a happy life, surrounded by friends and family who had come to love him no matter what. He often looked, with fondness, at the old teddy bear in the Natural History Museum – a reminder of his incredible journey.
