The story of how the teddy bear was invented is an interesting one. In 1902, American president Theodore(Teddy) Roosevelt was hunting(打猎) in the forest with several of his friends. Almost everyone had successfully shot(射中) an animal, but the president had not. Nobody wanted to make the president look sad, so they tied an American black bear to a tree. They wanted the president to shoot(射中) it. The president was very surprised to see the bear tied to a tree. He felt it was unfair to shoot the bear, because it couldn’t run away. He refused to shoot it, and the story of his decision went all over the country. Everybody was moved by the president’s beliefs(信念). There was even a cartoon showing the president refusing to shoot a cute bear. It was this cartoon and the story behind the president’s hunting trip that gave Morris an idea to make a new toy . He made a small, soft bear and showed it in his shop window. Next to the bear he made a sign that read, “Teddy’s Bear.” The new toy was a big success and it provided Morris with the money to create a toy company. Teddy bears have been popclar since they were first made. A teddy bear would be the first choice when people think about children’s toys. Theodore Roosevelt’s famous decision on a hunting trip in 1902 brought millions of soft, stuffed(填满填充物的) bears. They are being loved by people across the world.
