Translated by Anthea Bell
Little Bear and Little Tiger feel sad and lonely when they are apart, so they send each other letters to cheer themselves up. And that really starts something. Before long everyone is writing letters and using a well-developed postal system: by which time Bear and Tiger have invented the telephone... This celebration of communication provides the best possible reasons for learning to write.
