It is Princess Bear's bearthday, and she know just how she'd like to celebrate it-- with all her favorite things and her friends invited to share them with her. So she goes around town to gather all she wants for her party, but she kept running into problems... the store is out of honey cakes and buses running at times not good for her schedule. Fortunately for her she had good friends, and decided that they would throw her a surprise bearthday party instead. Granted, it would be impossible to get all Princess Bear's favorite things, but they did the best the could on short notice. When disappointed Princess Bear got home, was she surprised! She learned a valuable lesson too-- that the "stuff" is not what makes a great party, but the company and the thoughtfulness of her friends.
