Hero of the hour?

Rescued a lost bear today! Paddington would have been proud. Apparently a wee lassie dropped it from her pram when passing the book-tique. I just happened to notice it lying in the walkway and picked it up thinking the owner might return. Managed to flag down a passing official who put a call out on the tannoy. Meanwhile I had to fend off (at great personal risk!) countless nosey wee and big dugs who fancied making off with a new toy, and even one which was in the act of cocking a leg before I chased it! Some time later an anxious parent appeared having tried to retrace all of his earlier steps with the bearless wean. The wandering teddy was his daughter’s and it was the one she needs to go to bed with, hence the anxiety. All I got was a handshake, he didn’t even buy a book!! However, I may need to rethink my sales techniques. The wee teddy beside my pitch post attracted more interest from the passing public than my home made display panel with books. Anyone got a cute teddy I could adopt?
