On a wonderful summer day, near a small home, were a beautiful view from the highest mountain, sat a little girl on a big rock. She was as sad as she’s ever been.

In her little home, she lives with her mother and her white clown bear; named Elliot. But sadly, Elliot was missing.

As the girl continued to sit, she thought and worried about her poor Elliot. Of all the possible, scary things that could happen to him.

Tears started rolling down her cheeks. You can tell she was missing her bear so dearly.

“What is the matter?” A very sweet and soft voice, beside the little girl; startled her, that she jumped. Stood a curious pink bear, with a concern look on his face.

“I’m missing my bear Elliot. Have you seen him?” the little girl replied, “he’s been missing since I left from school this morning.” She stood up with tears still rolling down her rosy cheeks.

“I may have seen him; I have seen many bears today. What does he look like?” asked the pink bear.

"Well, his name is Elliot, he's a clown bear. He wears polka dots on his clothes" said the little girl.

With his vintage clown suit full of colorful polka dots, Elliot was the only clown bear that stuck out, of all the bears in the village.

“I did see one clown, but don’t think it was your Elliot” said the pink bear, scratching his head.

“Can you please help me find him? I won’t be able to sleep without him” cried the little girl as she wiped the tears off her face.

“Of course I will help, I know two great detectives that are good with finding anything” said the pink bear, “and they live right pass the yellow coneflowers, that’s where I live” continued the pink bear.

“But I’m not allowed to pass the yellow coneflowers” sobbed the little girl.

“Well, why not?” asked the pink bear, “it’s no different than being here, I think you will be just fine. And I will be right with you to protect you, in case you’re afraid.” The pink bear grabbed her hand as the little girl looked back at her little home.

The desperate little girl walked with the pink bear and towards the yellow coneflowers.

She remembered when her mother told her old stories of the dangers that happened on the other side of the village. Passing the yellow coneflowers is one thing she was told not to do for the risk of her safety. But the little girl would risk anything to just get Elliot back. What if Elliot was in danger?

“So, tell me, why are you not allowed to pass these beautiful yellow coneflowers?” asked the curious pink bear.

“My mother told me that there are very big viscous rabbits that live near the coneflowers. When she was little, she lost her friend Bear-Bear from the wild rabbits and never seen him again” said the little girl.

With a nervous laugh, the pink bear said, “that is a silly story. I have not once seen a big rabbit as I walk pass the coneflowers every day.”

As the little girl and the pink bear walked continuously into the forest of the yellow coneflowers, they heard a thump so heavily; it felt like the ground was shaking. “Do you think it may be the big vicious rabbits?” asked the little girl, who seemed to be a little frightened. “I-I sure hope not” said the pink bear trying to tug on the little girl’s hand shaking tremendously. “But...I am so tired” whined the little girl.

“Who dares to pass my yellow coneflowers?!” a loud voice shouted behind the yellow coneflowers. Which startled the pink bear and the little girl. “Who are you?” the frighten pink bear shouted back.

The little girl stood up and walked closer to look near the coneflowers. But the pink bear pulled her back. “Don’t, he- -he might grab you and eat you” said the pink bear. But the little girl did not listen to the pink bear.

So, she walked even closer to catch a better glimpse. But when she got as close as she could, she spotted what seemed to be a big, giant, white furry rabbit, peeking out from where he was trying to hide.

The giant rabbit quickly tried to back away, to hide harder. But it was obvious, he could still be seen. And not as frightened as she thought she was, the little girl walked closer into the woods. “I-I’m the little girl from the village not too far from here. I’m trying to find my best friend Elliot. Have you seen him?"

She tried to get a little closer, but the pink bear kept pulling her back.

The giant rabbit responded with a simple “No.” The little girl was so curious, wanting to see the giant rabbit, but the pink bear just kept holding her arm, so she would’t step any closer.

“P-please, Mr. Rabbit sir, I need help finding him. It’s getting late soon, and my mother will be worried” said the little girl, she then continued sobbing and tears rolled down her rosy cheeks again. “I can’t go home without him.”

As soon as the little girl begin to walk away, hesitantly, the giant rabbit came out behind the big bush of yellow coneflowers.

With a surprise look on their face, the little girl and the pink bear were amazed by the giant rabbit.

The giant rabbit was not what they thought everyone described him as. He was just as soft as any rabbit would feel. His paws were the size of a car, and his tail was as if there was a huge puff of cotton glued to his behind. His pink nose was as cute as a button, and his ears were just so long and floppy.

He was just a harmless, beautiful looking, giant rabbit you could ever imagine.

The little girl and the pink bear took one step back away from the rabbit. Unsure of what the giant rabbit can do.

“Oh, I mean you no harm” said the giant rabbit. “I’m just a lonely rabbit with no friends.” The giant rabbit just sat there, staring at the frighten little girl and pink bear. But you can imagine they were pretty much amazed.

The little girl walked closer to the giant rabbit. “Well, why don’t have any friends Mr. Rabbit” she slowly reached towards the giant rabbit and gently pet him for comfort.

The giant rabbit replied, “everyone is afraid of me because I am such a giant. But I’m not going to hurt anyone. I just want to play.” One huge tear, dropped to the ground, causing a small puddle; enough to splash your feet in.

The pink bear walked slowly towards the giant harmless rabbit and said, “well, you can play with us” as he placed his little pink paws on the giant rabbit to pet him.

So, the pink bear, the giant rabbit, and the little girl begin to play a game called tag. “Tag, you’re it” said the pink bear as he tapped the rabbit. They were having so much fun until the little girl started to feel sad again. 

“What’s wrong little girl?” asked the giant rabbit. The little girl looked up at the fuzzy rabbit, who looked concerned. “I miss my Elliot; I still need to find him” she said. Her eyes were beginning to form tears that she couldn’t hold until one tear dropped from her face and onto the rabbit’s paw.

“It’s getting pretty late and your mother will begin to worry, maybe we should come back tomorrow" said the pink bear. But the little girl didn’t want to go back home without her Elliot.

“How about Pink Bear and I go search for Elliot, and you go home?” said the giant rabbit. The little girl had no choice but to agree with the idea. So, the pink bear walked the little girl back into the yellow coneflowers and to her little village. “Please be careful” said the little girl. “Don’t worry, I will not let you down and will bring back Elliot” said the pink bear as he walked back to the yellow coneflower field.

Later, the little girl was sitting near her window, waiting to see if Elliot or the pink bear appear from the distance by the yellow coneflowers, but it kept getting darker and the little girl could barely see.

As the pink bear walked through the yellow coneflowers, he didn’t feel afraid anymore. But he finally met up with the giant rabbit. They begin their journey to search Elliot.

They passed through more yellow coneflowers and then another small village of other bears that they did not know of. These bears were bigger than pink bear, but no Elliot.

After a long walk, passing through the small village of bears, the pink bear and the giant rabbit decided to stop for rest. Until they heard a voice towards the woods.

“Help!” the voice of a scared bear, coming from the tall trees sounded like Elliot. “Did you hear that?” asked the giant rabbit. “It sounds like it’s coming from up there” said the pink bear as he pointed up at the tall trees. “Hello? Are you Elliot?” he shouted above him.
