At first, Bear is happily munching his cookie, until a thought creeps in: what if it’s the last cookie? When this turns out to be true, he sets off for the shops – and his worries mount and mount.
He worries about missing the bus and it leaves without him. He worries he’ll get lost. By the time he finds the cookie queue, he’s at the very back; and his worst worry comes true. The very last cookie goes to Duck! But just when Bear thinks his worst fears have been realised, Duck gently shows him that worries don’t have to end in disaster. By sharing his cookie and reminding Bear that ‘what ifs’ can lead to happy endings too, Duck helps his friend see that things often turn out better than expected.
