Are you ready to hear a story? This one's about some bears that keep stealing the weather.

Watch out for the bears by Gillian Rodgerson. The man who looked after the weather said to

his son, Tom. It's time you learned how to do my job. I'm going into town tomorrow and I want

you to look after the weather huts. Yes father, I can do that. Tom said with a smile.

So in the next morning Tom waves goodbye to his father as he got into his van. His father called out.

Watch out for the bears. Watch out for what Tom called back. The bears that live in the forest

his father shouted. Tom shook his head. Bears that lived in the forest he'd never seen any bears.

What was his father talking about? His father drove away. Tom went to check on the weather huts.

Thunderhut closed and locked. Foghut closed and locked. Rainbowhut closed and locked.

Cloudhut oh no it was unlocked and open. Tom looked down at the ground. He could see footprints.

Tom gulped. Those looked like bear prints.

Tom followed the bear prints. They led into the forest. Tom soon heard the sound of water

and the sound of someone singing. Tom walked on. He found a group of mummy bears. They were

standing underneath the trees taking showers. Tom looked up at the branches to see where the water

was coming from. He gassed. Those are my clouds. You've stuck my clouds in the branches to make them

rain. Well I'm taking them back. Tom started to climb the nearest tree. A shampoo bottle hit him on

the head. Ouch! Who did that? Tom said as he rubbed his head. An angry mummy bear glared at him.

I did and I'll throw you with another if you climb any further up that tree.

But I'm getting my clouds back. Tom said. Some other mummy bears came over to look at Tom.

He didn't like the angry looks on their faces. Can't you wait? We only need five minutes and then

we'll be done. Please? One of the mums asked. Tom looked up at the clouds. They didn't look as though

they'd been damaged. He looked down at the mummy bears. They were smiling now. Tom smiled.
