"Don't
move!" said the moth's voice.
"I
am decidedly stationary," said the teddy and looked around.
"You
can't see me now, but if you carefully take a step to the right..."
The teddy
lifted one paw. Then the pearly eyes glittered. "You mean your right," the teddy bear said,
remembering the moth's terrible sense of direction. And carefully it lifted the
other paw and stepped away from the moth. "I'm sorry for dropping that
green puddle on you."
"How
did you know I am green?" asked the moth, perplexed.
"I
can see you right there," said the teddy bear.
Tentatively
the moth took a few steps over into a blue puddle. "What color am I
now?" asked the moth.
"Blue,"
said the teddy. "Why are you asking such things, I am a teddy bear, not
blind."
"But
how can you see me? No one can see me when I take the color of the walls
nearby."
"It
seems I can," said the teddy bear. "And you should take a few steps
to the left into that pink, I think I quite like it, despite being a teddy
bear. No, the other left."
Tiredness
forgotten, they played a game for a while, skipping around the house trying one
color, then the other. Then the moth took up some blue paint and made a
checkered pattern on a yellow puddle, and pop, the moth was checkered blue and
yellow. It snapped its wings in delight.
"I
can be any color and pattern I want, you can always see me and will never step
on me," said the moth. "This is wonderful!"
The teddy
looked over their colorful house and nodded to itself, satisfied. "I
helped," the teddy declared.
The moth
appeared to ignore that statement, and instead continued to make patterns and
color combinations. Feeling that perhaps all work that a teddy could do was
done, the teddy bear retired to bed, and fell immediately into such a deep,
dreamless sleep as only teddies could.
