Bram was the biggest bear in Fernwood. He did big bear things: big stretches, big yawns and big naps under the big oak tree.
1 -

One morning, something tickled his nose. “Excuse me,” said a very small voice. “I'm Lulu. Is this the way to the top of the hill?”
2 -

Bram looked up at the hill. Then he looked down at the snail. “For you, that's a very long way,” he said kindly.
3 -

“I know,” said Lulu. “I started last spring.” Bram held out his big paw. “Then climb on. I'll carry you.”
4 -

Bram stomped up the path in his big bear way. “Stop!” squeaked Lulu. “You nearly missed the beetle in the shiny green coat!”
5 -

So Bram slowed down. Lulu showed him a spider's web strung with dew, a ladybird on a leaf, and a mushroom as small as a button.
6 -

“I've walked this path a thousand times,” said Bram, “and I never saw any of it.” “That's because you're so tall,” said Lulu.
7 -

At the top of the hill, the whole of Fernwood spread out below them, green and gold and glittering. Lulu gasped. “It's so big!”
8 -

“That's funny,” said Bram. “I was just thinking how wonderful the small things are.” They sat together until the sky turned pink.
9 -

Now every morning, Bram goes walking slowly, with a very small friend on his paw. He has never seen so much in all his life.
