There, There – two of the most soothing words in the English language. In this story, Little Hansie Bear loves to pretend, but walking like a duck can be hazardous, especially when he falls into a deep-down ditch and has to be helped out by his dad.

With a “There, there” and a hug, Hansie is soon off to play again. So, when Dad hurts his foot, Hansie knows just what to do – a “There, there”, a big hug, and everything is all right again.
