Then he looks at Benny, his best friend, for confirmation. You can see it, right? But Benny looks at him with worry in his eyes. Jonathan was taken to a room at the back of the zoo. They were going to call his mother, and he had to explain why he tried to free the polar bear. But Jonathan couldn't believe that no one believed him. His mother rushed to the zoo. She couldn't imagine that her little boy would do such a thing. She ran into the room and embraced her son. What has gotten into you, Jonathan? He tells his mother everything, and the zoo worker wipes a tear away. But what was the reason Jonathan had to free the polar bear? Jonathan is a quiet boy. He doesn't have many friends, mainly because he has different interests. Most of his classmates watch a lot of TV and play video games. But Jonathan likes animal books and documentaries. He tries to fit in, but always in vain, he seeks comfort from his stuffed animals. Some might say he is a little old for them, but he doesn't care. His favorite stuffie is his polar bear, Rick. He had gotten the animal as a present from his father. He had brought the animal all the way from Antarctica. Jonathan wants to be just like his dad when he grows up. His father goes away a lot for work. Jonathan doesn't know what his father does for a living, but he loves all the stories he tells him. He hopes to join his father on his travels one day. Jonathan has never even left Europe, but he has seen amazing pictures. His mother always seemed a little down on the first days his father left. But he cheered her up by spending time with her. Tonight they were having a movie night. His mother bought popcorn, and Jonathan picked the movie. He wanted to watch his favorite non-documentary, The Polar Express. He had to go straight to bed after the movie because it was a school night. Jonathan didn't like going to school because he was getting picked on. His class had three groups, popular boys, girls, Jonathan and his best friend, Benny. Benny was also Jonathan's neighbor. Benny and Jonathan had been friends since they were one year old. They were born only a few days apart and had technically grown up together. Their mothers were best friends as well, so they had a lot of dinners and playdates together. They stuck together in class and defended each other against the bullying. Jonathan still brought his polar bear to school, which caused many of the other kids to laugh at him. They told him that he was a baby and bullied him. When it first started, Jonathan was hurt that his classmates were being mean to him, but soon he had a change of heart about the entire situation. Instead of being upset, Jonathan focused on his dream of becoming an animal rescuer someday. It didn't matter what anyone else thought about it. He ignored the bullies at school and didn't let them ruin his love of animals. One day, he was outside playing with Benny when everything changed. Jonathan and Benny were having a great time playing outside, and of course, Jonathan had his polar bear Rick with him. Suddenly, one of the bullies walked by and spotted them. It was Jack. He started making fun of Jonathan and rushed over to steal the polar bear away from him. Jack ran away as soon as he had Rick in his grip. Benny chased him, but Jack was too fast for him to catch up. Jonathan was horrified when he saw one of his bullies disappearing with his beloved polar bear. What could he possibly do to get Rick back? Jonathan ran home in tears at the thought of losing Rick forever. He couldn't understand why Jack was so terrible to him all the time. Jonathan never got angry at Jack or said anything mean to him, but it didn't make a difference. Plus, there was one more detail that made the whole situation even worse. Since it was the weekend, Jonathan had to wait until Monday to see Jack and confront him about stealing Rick. He was so worried about his bear that he got to class as soon as he could. He didn't care about anything else except for finding Rick. What if Jack had destroyed the bear? Jonathan had been so distracted about Jack and the polar bear that he'd completely forgotten about the school trip. Even though Jonathan was early, Jack arrived late, so there was no chance for Jonathan to confront Jack about stealing his bear. He'd have to do it later once they weren't in class anymore. However, class was on a bit of a different schedule that day because of their trip to the zoo. Everyone was excited, and even Jonathan couldn't wait to go despite the issue with Jack still holding Rick hostage. Jonathan decided that he needed help getting Rick back and knew just who to ask. Jonathan went to the back of the bus and talked to Benny about what they should do to get Rick back. Jack had a lot of friends nearby, so there was no way that Jonathan could sneak by to get the polar bear. They would have to figure out a way to speak to Jack by himself. Benny and Jonathan decided that the best thing they could do was follow Jack and wait for an opportunity to talk in the future. Jonathan liked that plan since he didn't want to fight or cause a scene. He simply wanted his polar bear. But then everything changed for the worse. As soon as they arrived at the zoo, Jack took the bear out of his bag and started making fun of Jonathan. He showed everyone that he had the bear. Jonathan was so angry that he almost charged at Jack, but Benny stopped him. They had to stick to the plan. The teacher made sure everyone was there, and then let them split off into groups to see the zoo. All the chaperones were distracted, and Jack and his friends immediately took off in another direction to see all the animals. Benny and Jonathan hurried to catch up before they lost sight of Jack. Jonathan started to lose hope. No matter how hard they looked, the zoo was too big to find Jack. Finally, Benny and Jonathan went to see other things and enjoy their field trip. They knew that Jack would be on the ride home, and they could work on getting the bear back then. Benny and Jonathan had a great time seeing the lions as part of their first stop. Jonathan dreamed about working in Africa and helping to take care of exotic animals. They went through several exhibits, including the reptile house. Jonathan was having fun, even though Rick was still missing, but he still desperately missed his polar bear. The zoo had a massive playground where they could take a break from seeing the animals, so Benny and Jonathan joined some of their classmates there. They spent about an hour at the playground before heading to another part of the zoo, but they still couldn't find Jack anywhere along the way. When they arrive at the polar bear enclosure, Jonathan sees something that shocks him. He yells for a zoo worker, but no one is around. Benny has no idea why Jonathan is suddenly acting like this. Jonathan runs around the enclosure, looking for someone or something that could help him. He sees a hammer and grabs it. He slams the hammer on the glass, and Benny starts to freak out. He runs to get a zoo worker and tells him to come immediately. The zoo worker yanks the hammer out of Jonathan's hands. You can't free this polar bear, but Jonathan points at the glass. Finally, the zoo worker sees what is going on. Jack had thrown Jonathan's polar bear into the enclosure, and a baby polar bear had grabbed it. The zoo worker teared up and told Jonathan the baby polar bear had been very lonely and wasn't interacting with the other bears, so playing with the stuffed animal was very special. Jonathan calmed down. His stuffed animal comforted that baby polar bear as it comforted him. He finally agreed to let it go, and they continued their day at the zoo. Thanks for watching!
