My Shiny New Friend

I have a new friend. He is not a bestest friend--not yet. Special Ed James put a mirror on the floor. I look inside. There is a brown bear cub inside there who looks a lot like me. Special Ed James says it IS me--that it's a reflection. Liar, liar, pants on fire! Who is he kidding? I do not reflect. But the bear in the mirror seems friendly. I wish he was not so shy. If he would come out we could ride our bikes together on Russell Street but he only plays peek-a-boo with me. It's a fun game. Maybe I will tell him he can ride my blue bike with the Canada flag on it if he comes out of the mirror.
