    It has been two years now since Liddy came to the shop. Liddy was left all alone and the last teddy bear who was being her companion had also left. She wondered where the white teddy bear has gone and also, does the woman have any children.

    ‘It is good to know, that madam liked the white teddy bear’, said one of the employees to the owner of the shop. The woman who had bought the white teddy bear had posted the picture of her daughter holding the teddy bear in the space provided for giving the customer reviews after their purchase. She had also mentioned that her daughter liked the teddy bear and it perfectly fits into her daughter’s playhouse.
    Another employee said to the owner, ‘Great! Sir too had liked the black teddy bear as well. Their daughter is very happy with both the teddy bears. One from her father and the other from her mother’. The man who had bought the black teddy bear had also posted his review regarding his purchase.
    Liddy wanted to know whether it was one among her companions who were recently sold as Christmas gifts. The employees were scrolling past the reviews and Liddy managed to see both the images. ‘Black and white! That’s right. They both have went into the same household. It was the father and mother of the same girl who had made the purchase on different days’, said Liddy.
    Liddy also wanted to enter into the same household but it was still a mystery revolving around her purchase. She was conquered by boredom each day and once she is bought by anyone, she would become a complete teddy bear with her exceptional qualities diminished forever.
