Edgrr: A Sneak preview continued:

The key turned in the lock, and the shop owner walked in.

“Get over here at once,” Kenyon hissed.  “Someone will see you.”

“Then I shall growl and scare them away,” declared Edgrr.  “I am a real bear.  I won’t sit in the window anymore.  I won’t! I won’t! I won’t!  And you can’t make me!”  he shouted. He ducked under the table cover and hid between two large cartons.

Kenyon groaned, but he couldn’t move from the window.  A young mother came in with her two little girls.  They came up to the front of the shop to pick out a bear.  Kenyon watched in horror as Edgrr crept out from under the table and stalked up behind the little girls.  He was growling under his breath and looking his fiercest.

The eldest girl turned around and saw him, but she wasn’t a bit afraid.  She picked him up and gave him a big hug.  Edgrr went limp and put on his scowliest face.

“What about this one, Mommy?” asked the little girl, holding him up so he could be seen.

“No, I don’t think so, dear.  He doesn’t look very happy.  Put him back in the window.  What about this one?  I like this bear.”

She picked up a cinnamon-colored bear who smiled and grinned, and could barely keep from laughing out loud at the thought of being adopted.  The little girls liked him a lot so the shop owner tucked him away in a pretty gift bag, and off he went to his new home.
