Hello, my name is Lola. I am a wooden puppet. I love playing games and having fun with my friends. However, this is not always the case. Can you little ones complete my story?

One autumn season, I put on my hat and boots. I love walking on the streets. However, the weather is rainy and windy. The leaves of the trees are yellow, orange and red. I will go to my friends and ask them if they want to play games. I love having fun with them.

My friends must have been in our tree house near the lake. As I was heading towards the lake,

I collected the yellow leaves and cones on the ground. I'm sure we could produce very interesting things with my friends. I arrived at the tree house and knocked on the door, but there was no sound.

The children in the yard were playing and laughing. They looked so happy. At some point he also saw his friends. He worked up the courage to approach but at that moment  the bell rang and his friends quickly entered the school. Frustrated, he decided to leave. But where to go?

The turtles asked me why I was being sad and they invited me to play with them. As I prepared to answer their question, a lot of big white snowflakes started to fall from the gray sky. Seeing that, the turtles told me that they have to go back into their shelter and they hurried to leave. So ... I was alone again.

Advancing through the forest, I could feel the snowflakes touching my face and hands. I was getting cold, but ahead of me I spotted a small shelter where I decided to wait until the snow stopped. Behind me something was moving slowly: a sleepy little bear was asking me what I was looking for in his shelter, just now that he was about to fall sleep for the whole winter. I replied that I was just looking for a friend, while I got caught in the snow. The little bear thought himself  that I must be in the right place for sure... he was also looking so badly for a friend!

And then, the bear began telling him how he prepared for hibernation, how he's prepared his den, how he hunted and ate untill then, so that he would have enough supplies for his whole hibernation sleep. The only thing he didnt like was that he had to sleep alone. He would've liked to have a friend to talk to untill he fell asleep and to keep warm throughout his hibernation. And while still talking to him, the bear fell asleep. I then figured that I had to keep walking the path. The snowing had also stopped. And so, I began the journey of finding new friends.

Because of the bear falling asleep, I had to continue my journey. It was winter and all the animals were in their shelters. So, I decided to build myself a friend, a snowman. After I built him, I started telling him about my journey, about the places I've been to. After a while, I realised that my snowman was melting, as the sun came up upon us. Soon, I was left all alone!

Little Lola very carefully took the snowman's red cap and scarf, put them on and started walking in the snowy forest. Suddenly he heard a melodious voice. She turned and saw around her many little birds with red necks.

The little birds told me there's a house further on. they told me to go look over there. for my friends. So I continued in the snowy forest.Suddenly I saw an old lady in front of me. He asked me how I was all alone in the cold. I told her I was looking for my friends. She then invited me to her house to get warm and drink hot milk.
