…going to Russia.” “But why?” asks his Mum. “I want to warm in the sun” exclaims Snowy. “If you want to warm in the sun, you should go to Africa. The sun shines more brightly and the temperature is higher there,” says his Dad. “I am going to Russia not only because of the sun. I have heard about a beautiful Russian city St.-Petersburg. There are a lot of rivers and bridges there,” insists the baby bear. “Venice is famous for its rivers and canals too. Why not go there?” asks Mum. “I know that brown bears live there. I want to make friends with them,” says Snowy. “I see,” says Daddy with a smile. “Moreover, I know that Russian people celebrate a merry holiday called Maslenitsa. They say goodbye to winter. People have a lot of fun. They burn a scarecrow, eat pancakes with various toppings. A pancake is a symbol of the sun.” tells Snowy in excitement. Parents understand how eagerly Snowy wants to visit Russia and decide to make a gift to their child. See what happened to them. They arrived in St.-Petersburg. They were terrified with its beauty. However, they were a bit disappointed because they couldn’t find brown bears there. One of the citizens explained that they should look for brown bears in the forest. Next day they went to the forest. Suddenly they heard a gun shot. The brave animals decided to go there. As soon as they came to that place, they found a wounded brown baby bear who was crying because of pain. They took him and brought home. The brown bears were thankful to them for the help. They invited Snowy and his parents to their house. Soon they made friends. When the time of the departure came, everybody was sad. The family of brown bears promised to come to Arctic the next year. So wherever you come, you can find real friends there.
