My Toy
Identification
I have a toy. It is a doll, bear a doll, and I call Teddy.
Description
Teddy Bear is an American origin. My dad brought it as a
present for my tenth birthday anniversary last year. The doll is
small, fluffy, and cute. It has thick brown fur. When I cuddle it,
the fur feels soft. Because my Teddy Bears is a doll, I don’t need
to feed it. I wash it at laundry at least once a month. Every
night Teddy accompanies me sleeping. When I am at school,
Teddy stays in my bed. Teddy Bears is really a nice, adore, and
charming toy. I love my Teddy Bear very much
