leaving my home." Saying it, Snowy goes outside and makes his way to the open ocean. He is sitting there and thinks of his future travelling. But where? While he is picking out his trip’s directions he doesn’t notice the big Whale who has swam up to our little bear. - What are you doing here alone, my dear white bear cub? – asks the Whale. - I am tired of snow! I am going to find another place to live, - Snowy replies angrily. - Oh, frankly speaking, I hate swimming in the cold water. I’m dreaming of the hottest countries to live in. Will you travel together? Let’s go, - the Whale wonders. - I’d love to! - Snowy exclaims. So, Snowy jumps on the Whale’s back and they begin their journey. Soon the Whale and Snowy have reached the island. Suddenly they remember that Christmas is coming. - It will be very amazing to learn how people celebrate it in different countries! – says the Whale. - Yes, I’ll choose the best tradition and I’ll stay in this country! – agrees the Snowy. It is Great Britain. - I read in a book in my childhood that you should take a piece of coal, some beverage and a cake when you would go to your friends, - noticed the Whale. - We have not anything. Nobody let us in. Let’s swim farther, - says Snowy with sorrow. They swim forward. - Look! There is an island there! – cries Snowy. - It’s Greenland. - says the Whale calmly. - As far as I know, it’s cold here also in summer, - remembers Snowy. - And one of the Greenland’s traditions is to present icy-cold figurines of polar bears and walrus for Christmas, - tells the Whale. - I don’t like to live here. I am not a present for X-mas, - says Snowy resentfully. And our friends go to another place. But every time discovering the traditions Snowy and the Whale don’t like anything. In Italy they dislike the tradition of throwing the old furniture out. In Spain Snowy doesn’t like the tradition of eating grapes. He hates grapes very much! In Vietnam the Whale doesn’t the tradition of cooking rice. The Whale hates rice! From day to day our friends get tired and tired. Nobody is waiting for them. Nobody is inviting them to the home. Then, the clever whale noticed: - Our native family is the only persons who love us the most!!! - I see, - agrees Snowy, - I am missing my Mummy bear and Daddy bear. Would you like to come back? - Yes. With a pleasure. So, our friends are going to the northern Arctic. Swimming back to home Snowy and the Whale are silent. They want to back as fast as possible. Snowy comes home and excuses for all. He begs his pardon. And his clever words are: East or West - home is best. I promise I‘ll never leave my home, my sweet sweet home.
