welcome to storyline online brought to
you by the sag after foundation i'm seth
meyers and i'm going to read to you from
my book i'm not scared you're scared
with illustrations by rob saya jr
there once was a bear who was easily
scared
each night
before going to sleep he would tie a
bell to his door that would make a noise
if anyone tried to sneak in
because even a bear who is easily scared
is a very
heavy sleeper
he was even afraid of his own reflection
and because he couldn't see himself he
never brushed well and always had food
stuck in his teeth
when you're a scared bear with food in
your teeth
you don't have many friends
bear head one
rabbit
rabbit was never scared
she read scary stories she slept with
her door wide open
and she brushed her teeth while hanging
from a tree branch by her ears
this gave her very
strong ears
one day
rabbit made an announcement bear
we
are going on an adventure
bear suggested that instead of going on
an adventure
they could read a book
about
adventures
that way if anything goes wrong we could
just close the book
rabbit looked at her friend and asked
bear
are you scared
and bear replied i'm not scared
you're scared
and with that bear walked past rabbit
and out the front door
bears stopped to make sure they had
everything they needed do i need
a bike helmet
bear asked
no
said rabbit
do i need oven mitts
no
said rabbit
do i need bear repellent
spray
you're a bear
said rabbit
after walking a while they came to a
small stream
it looks deep said bear it's not deep
said rabbit
it looks cold said bear
it's not cold
said rabbit
it looks like it's filled with fish who
have very sharp teeth the kind of fish
who would like nothing more than to
nibble at the ankles of a delicious bear
rabbit looked at her friend and asked
again
bear are you scared
and bear replied once again
i'm not scared
you're scared
and with that bear
walked along the stream until it
narrowed enough
that he could step over it
there
he found rabbit who had fallen asleep
waiting for him
after a bit longer they came to the edge
of the woods
it looks dark said bear
it's not dark
said rabbit
it looks spooky
said bear
it's
not spooky
said rabbit
it looks like it's full of trees that
are going to fall down and bonk us on
the head said bear
rabbit looked at her friend and said
bear
are you scared
and bear replied
i'm not scared
you're scared
and with that bear realizing he would do
anything to avoid the dark and spooky
woods walk to the road
where he waited for the bus
the bus picked him up and drove him all
the way around the forest when he got to
the other side he woke up rabbit who
once again
had fallen asleep
waiting for him
they walked some more until they came to
a mountain
it looks high
said bear
it's not high
said rabbit
it looks slippery said bear it's not
slippery
said rabbit it looks like one of the
rocks will fall and roll and
land on my paw
said bear
rabbit looked at her friend and just had
to ask bear
are you scared
and bear replied
i'm not scared
you're
scared
and with that bear realizing he would do
anything to avoid the high and slippery
mountain walked to the nearest train
station
the train took him halfway around the
mountain to an airfield at the airfield
bear bought a ticket on a helicopter
that flew him to the top of the mountain
and dropped him off next to rabbit who
no surprise here
had fallen asleep
rabbit
said bear waking her up
should we go home
i
am not going home
said rabbit
and she bounced off
with bear following
behind her
after a bit more walking they found
themselves at one side of a long rope
bridge
bear stopped
it looks rickety
said bear
it
might be a little rickety
said rabbit
looks old
said bear might be pretty old said
rabbit
it looks like the boards might break if
you were heavy enough said bear
agreed rabbit
rabbit looked at her friend and said
bear
are you scared
and bear
took a deep breath
and said
yes
yes rabbit i am scared
i was scared of the river and i was
scared of the forest and i was scared of
the mountain but i am the most scared
about this long
old rickety bridge and with that
bear turned around
and headed
home
he marched back to the helicopter that
flew him back to the airfield then took
the train back to the forest where he
got on a bus that took him to the river
so he could cross where it was narrow
and then trudge all the way back to his
house where he crawled into bed
rabbit went to the middle of the bridge
and thought see this bridge isn't
dangerous it's a good bridge and to
prove it she started to jump up and down
and then she jumped harder
and then she jumped harder than she had
ever jumped in her life and then the
board
she was jumping on cracked in half
and rabbit fell right through the hole
in the bridge
lucky for rabbit
she had very strong ears
but she knew
she wouldn't be able to hold on forever
and because of this rabbit
for the first time in her life
was scared
now
baron rabbit hadn't noticed but
throughout their journey
they had been followed
by a small
bird
realized
she had to get help so she flew
as fast as she could
all the way to bear's house
bird flew in bear's window and started
chirping as loud as she could but bear
didn't wake up
because even bears who are easily scared
are very
heavy sleepers
bird was about to give up when she saw
the bell
on the doorknob
bird put her head inside it and shook it
as hard as she could
bear jumped out of bed to hear bird yell
rabbit has fallen through the bridge and
needs your help
and in that moment
bear felt something
he had never felt before
courage he was so worried
about his friend that instead of staying
home where it was safe
he ran out the door faster than any bear
had ever run before when bear reached
the stream he ran right through it
it only came up to his ankles when he
came to the forest he ran right through
it it was
only three trees
and when he came to the mountain he
didn't even think about taking a train
and a helicopter he just climbed right
up it
it wasn't very high
meanwhile rabbit was now hanging on with
only one ear she could feel it slipping
too
and just as she lost her grip
bear grabbed her by the ear
and lifted her to safety
bear
were you scared
asked rabbit
and bear said with pride
and honesty
rabbit
i was scared
i was scared too
said rabbit
and bear smiled and said
sometimes
it's okay to be scared
that night when bear brushed his teeth
he didn't hide from his reflection
he looked right at it and do you know
what he saw
a very
brave bear
with
no food
in his teeth
