Run away bear, run!
Scarpetta d'Oro, the awarded tale
"A mother bear and her cub were running through the wood. They escaped from hunter who chased them for their fur...".
Open the picture book "Un paio a ciascuno" (i. e. A pair of shoes to each one), turn to page 4 - 5 and you'll find this little bear lost in the forest.
