Stories by the English writer Michael Bond about a bear named Paddington have long become classics of English children’s literature. When it comes to the most famous literary bears, English people always mention Winnie-the-Pooh and Paddington. This story began in London, at Paddington Station. A small bear cub who had come from deep, faraway Peru stood aside and patiently waited for someone to notice him. Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Brown decided to take care of the brave traveler—and even came up with a wonderful sounding name for him: Paddington.
Since then, the Brown home has forgotten peace and order.
The curious, hardworking bear didn’t like sitting idle: he would cook lunch, trim the lawn, and even help with repairs. True, for some reason most of his ideas turned into pranks and mischief. But Paddington is in no way to blame for the fact that something always happens to him. That’s just the bear he is: wherever he goes, there’s never any boredom.
