Hope the Optimist Bear was a nice and 

gentle bear.   She loved helping people, 

especially children.   Hope would find 

friends in the hospital and hang out 

with them.   She would play with them, 

dance with them, sing with them, and 

so much more.   Every one of the 

children loved Hope!

Hope worked really hard every day and one day 

a nurse came up to her and asked, “Would you 

like to have a permanent job with a child here?”  

Hope was really happy and said, “Of course!”  

That is when Hope met Sophia. 

Sophia was a little girl who had been in the 

hospital for a long time.   Hope stayed with 

Sophia every day and helped to take care of her 

and make her feel better.  

Hope loved Sophia so much.   She was nice, 

awesome, and hilarious!   They would tell 

jokes to each other, eat together, play 

together and did everything together.   They 

were best friends!

“Hope, I am finally going home!” Sophia 

smiled with glee.   She had been in the 

hospital for what seemed like months and 

now she was finally going home.  

Hope loved the feel of Sophia’s hands 

as she grasped her tightly and gave her 

a big hug.   Hope and Sophia got into 

the red plastic wagon.    

Sophia was going to see the fish as she 

did most of her healthy days.   This was 

something Hope looked forward to 

during her day too.

Sophia liked looking at the fish as if 

one day she could be just like them-  

swimming around with friends, not 

having to come up to breathe and 

gliding through the water.    Sophia 

pressed her hand on the tank, trying to 

touch the fish one last time. 

Sophia, now tired and ready to go back 

to the room, grabbed Hope’s arm as she 

jumped back into the red wagon.
