A helping paw

I was having trouble finding someone to help for my Helping Paw badge.  It seemed like everyone was doing just fine.


So I decided to take a nap.  I should be hiBEARnating right now anyways.  *yawn*


"Help!" a voice chirped.

Wait, what was that sound?  Did you hear something?


"Please help!" it said again.

It sounded like it was coming from over here.


It was...

...a bird!

(Hey guys, how come you didn't tell me there was a bird behind me?)


"Hello," I said.  "Do you need help?"

"Yes!" she replied.  "My wing... I think it's broken.  A bird that can't fly... oh, I am done for!"


"Don't worry," I said.  "I am Bear Cub Scout Ajdin and I can help you."  I went to get my first aid kit.


"Now, if you will just hold still, I'll have you fixed up in no time," I said.

I took out some bandages and carefully tied them around her right wing.

"There," I said, helping her sit up.  "You'll need some time to heal but it should be better soon."


"But I cannot fly south!" she said.  "It is winter here and so cold.  I will surely freeze to death."

"You can stay with my friends and I," I offered.  "You can be our guest, Miss...?"

"Feathers.  My name is Feathers.  Thank you so much Ajdin.  You are a very kind bear."

The Helping Paw badge

Today, Bear Cub Scout Leader Uncle Tibbs called an important meeting.  So I put on my cub scout uniform.

"I called this meeting today because I have some exciting news to share with you, Ajdin," he said.

I began to feel beary excited.

"There is a new Bear Cub Scout badge that you can earn.  It is called the Helping Paw badge."  He showed me what the badge looked like.  It was a badge in the shape of a bear!

"Uncle Tibbs, that is a fantastic badge!" I exclaimed.  "How do I earn it?"


"The recipient of a Helping Paw badge must show bravery and courage to help someone else.  It is not an easy badge to earn," he said.

"Uncle Tibbs, do you need help with anything?" I asked.

"Hmm... I can't say that I do, Ajdin."

"Are you SURE?" I asked again.

"I am okay right now, Ajdin, but thanks for asking."


I was eager to get this badge, so I decided to ask Ooogie if he needed help.

"Noooooooooo, thaaaaaaaaaaaanks," he answered.


Then I asked Flops if he needed help.

"I don't need help... *crunch* ....but thanks for asking...*crunch*," he said as he munched on a carrot.


I began to feel a little discouraged.  I really wanted this special badge.  Finally, I asked my mom if she needed help.

It turned out that she did not need help either.


I let out a little sigh.  How was I going to earn the Helping Paw badge if no one needed any help?
