going to see the world”. Snowy said goodbye to his parents and went to the place where Paul and Helen lived. They were not animals, but people. They studied the Arctic weather and its animals. The scientists were very intelligent and always kind to the Snowy’s family. The little bear came into their house and asked them to take him to any warm country. “My dream is to travel to some sunny and beautiful land. I’ll behave well, I promise,” told them Snowy. Paul and Helen thought a little and agreed. The bear cub and two grown-up people were on board of the fast plane. They flew to one of the most wonderful and mysterious countries on the Earth, to the smallest continent and the biggest island, to Australia. And now Snowy is in the Australian forest. He is very surprised. It’s hot and dry. There are a lot of tall trees, green grass, bright flowers and strange creatures there. Snow sees a bear. He is not as big as the polar bear and his fur is soft and light grey. “Are we relatives, I wonder? You look like me! ” exclaims Snowy. “Oh! We really look like each other. My name is Kolya. I’m from Koala’s family. And you?” asked the Australian and smiled. “I’m Snowy. My family is from Arctic. We are polar bears,” explains the little traveller. “Show me your exotic island, please”. “With great pleasure!” And the two bears spend much time together. They swim in the warm ocean, fish and play a lot. Kolya teaches Snowy to climb trees and sleep on the branches. Snowy tells his new friend about his native land of ice and snow, about dancing snowflakes and his loving parents. And they decide to visit them some day.
