In a small town in Germany, there was a very special bakery. The owner of this bakery was a kind old lady. Every day, the old lady would get up early to make bread. The bread she made was fragrant and soft, and the people in the town liked it very much.
One day, the old lady was making bread as usual. She mixed flour, yeast, water and sugar together and then kneaded them into a large dough. When she put the dough into the oven, something strange happened. Suddenly, a soft light shone in the oven, and there seemed to be something pulsating in the light.
Surprised, the old lady opened the oven and found that the ordinary bread had turned into the shape of a little bear. This bear - shaped bread had a brown crust, just like a real little bear, and also emitted an alluring aroma. The old lady was both astonished and delighted. She carefully took out the bear - shaped bread.
The bear - shaped bread seemed to be alive. Its eyes were like two glittering black gems. The old lady couldn't help touching the bear - shaped bread and found that its body was soft and warm.
The old lady put the bear - shaped bread on the counter, intending to show this magical thing to the neighbors later. Soon, a little boy walked into the bakery. When the little boy saw the bear - shaped bread, his eyes lit up immediately. He asked the old lady what it was, and the old lady told him with a smile that it was a magical bear - shaped bread. The little boy asked the old lady to sell it to him. He wanted to take it back to his sick sister. After thinking for a while, the old lady agreed.
The little boy happily took the bear - shaped bread and went home. He took the bear - shaped bread to his sister's bedside. When his sister saw the bear - shaped bread, a smile appeared on her pale face. She gently touched the bear - shaped bread and suddenly felt that her body didn't seem so uncomfortable anymore.
That night, the sister had a wonderful dream. In the dream, she played with the bear - shaped bread in a beautiful forest. There were colorful flowers in the forest and many lovely little animals. The bear - shaped bread led the sister to run and jump in the forest, and the sister felt extremely happy.
The next morning, when the sister woke up, she found that the bear - shaped bread was still beside her bed. But when she reached out to touch it again, she found that the bear - shaped bread had turned back into ordinary bread. However, the sister was not disappointed because this magical bear - shaped bread had already brought her a lot of joy and warmth.
Since then, the sister's illness gradually got better. And the people in the town have always passed on the magical story about the bear - shaped bread.
