The message is, treat people how you would want to be treated

EDWINA the bear, lived with the Patrick family. Grandma Patrick gave Edwina to Courtney when Courtney was only a baby. Now Courtney was six, she wasn’t interested in Edwina anymore. Instead she played with Barbie dolls. Courtney was going to grandmas, but instead of taking Edwina, she took her new Barbie. Edwina was so sad, that she cried real teddy tears…. Eventually Edwina cried herself to sleep… soon, she started dreaming. She dreamt that she was a beautiful princess living in a castle. She also dreamt that she was a famous movie star in Hollywood classic. When Edwina woke up, she felt better and even started to smile… Edwina soon felt two little hands pick her up and before too long she was having a tea party with Courtney and her new Barbie and from that day on Edwina and Barbie were the best of friends!
