The sun had barely risen when Cubis, the playful little bear, woke up with one thing on his mind—dumplings! He had been dreaming about their warm, soft dough and tasty fillings all night long. Today, he decided, he wasn’t going to wait for someone else to bring them. He was going to buy them himself!
With a burst of excitement, Cubis put on his tiny helmet, grabbed his colorful scarf, and ran outside to his bright red motorbike. The motorbike was almost as big as he was, but that didn’t bother Cubis one bit. “Vroom, vroom!” he shouted, hopping onto the seat and starting the engine with all the confidence in the world.
The road to the dumpling shop was lively. Birds chirped overhead, the breeze carried the smell of breakfast from nearby houses, and Cubis couldn’t stop humming happily. His little legs barely reached the pedals, but he zoomed down the street, grinning from ear to ear. Every time he passed a neighbor, he waved proudly and shouted, “I’m going to buy dumplings!”
When he finally reached the shop, the delicious smell hit him instantly. His tummy growled louder than the motorbike. Jumping off, he ran inside, where the shopkeeper laughed kindly at the sight of the tiny bear in his helmet.
“What can I get for you, young rider?” the shopkeeper asked.
“Three dumplings, please! One meat, one veggie, and one sweet red bean!” Cubis declared, his eyes sparkling.
As he waited, he sat by the window, swinging his legs, imagining how tasty each bite would be. When the steaming basket arrived, Cubis clapped his paws with joy. He carefully packed the dumplings into his little basket, hopped back onto his motorbike, and rode home, humming louder than ever.
That morning, Cubis not only enjoyed the best dumplings he had ever tasted—he also felt proud. He had gone on a big adventure all by himself, with his trusty motorbike leading the way.
