This is a story of the friendship between a Squirrel and a Bear. They do everything together since they share such a close friendship. However, the size of the Bear seems to bother the Squirrel as it has spoiled several of his plans, like, sinking a boat, throwing him off the seesaw, squashing him, tearing his house apart, and so on.
