Because he was so hungry and much too sleepy to find his own breakfast, he stumbled to the cottage beside the lighthouse and knocked on the door.

Pandora opened the door to see a very rumpled furry face with dark, sleepy eyes.

The bear handed her the note and, as politely as possible without yawning too much, he said, “My name is Thomas, and I believe I am invited for breakfast.”

Pandora welcomed Thomas inside. The children came running. They were thrilled!

Pandora made Thomas breakfast, which turned out to be an amazing thirty-four bearberry pancakes. Bears are very hungry when they wake up.
