i've been meaning to post this story for a while (honestly, too lazy to type it up)

but here you go

hugless douglas by david melling

once apon a time their was a bear. he lived in a deep, dark cave.

well this particular morning he needed a hug so he brushed his hair, got dressed, and went to find one

" my best hugs are big." said douglas, so he walked up to the biggist thing he could find and gave it a squeeze

it didn't feel right

" oh," said douglas.

" my best hugs are tall" thought douglas so he went up to the tallest thing he could find and hugged it

but again, it didn't feel right

" my best hugs," said douglas, " are comfy"

so he went to a tree and hugged it

but the branches started to move and their came a " baaa, baaa" sound.

" give us a hug," said douglas

" no,"said the sheep. " we're too busy!".

" why can't I find a hug?" said douglas

" if I want a hug," said an owl, " I sit in my tree and.."

he never got to finish. douglas climbed in to the trree and waited

" twoo twit" said the owl crossly

douglas felt around and soon he felt something fluffy and rabbity

douglas could tell the rabbit didn't want a hug

he sniffed, and without thinking, he wiped his nose on the rabbit

" put me down," she said.

" but I want a hug" douglas said.

" ah, I see." said the rabbot. " come with me."

she took douglas to the entrance of a cave. douglas looked in to the cave, and saw someone he knew, just waking up

" hug?" douglas asked, as he ran straight in to the arms of...

his mother

" come to think of it," said douglas, " my best hugs are from people I love."
