Many of us have ever loved the two toy bears — a brown Teddy bear and a yellow Winnie-the-Pooh bear. The two toy bears come from real stories in life.
In 1902, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the USA, went hunting (打猎). The hunting dogs found an old bear in the forest near Washington DC and the guide asked the president to shoot (射杀) it. But President Roosevelt disagreed. A cartoonist drew a cartoon showing that the president refused to shoot the bear. Soon people named the bear Teddy which was Theodore's nickname (昵称).
In 1913, a captain named Harry Colebourn paid twenty dollars for a yellow bear which was born in Canada. The captain's hometown, Winnipeg, was the origin (起源) of the bear's name. When World War I began, the captain went to France. Winnie was sent to London Zoo. Because of its lovely look, the bear became popular with children.
