Terve! Hello! This time my newsletter is very sporty! Mama and I’ve got a new toy that looks like a discus! However it’s a ‘multi tasking toy’ that can be used in many ways! And I certainly know a lot of ways! Of course, we have many other toys, too – for example a giant ball.
I can use it as a visir to protect my cute face if it’s needed!
It can even serve as a drinking glass. When I want to show extra fine manners I can use it instead of drinking straight from the pool. Isn’t that great? Sometimes a polar bear boy wants to be elegant and impress the bear girls – especially one who’se name starts with the letter ‘Q’ ….
I can also use this ‘toy’ as a food bowl ….
…. ooops ….. maybe not ….
Before I present the new toy to mama we sing our morning song ‘Good morning sunshine’. There’s a song called ‘Good morning starshine’ from the musical ‘Hair’ but this song is from my own musical ‘Bear’! Oh yes, I’m a composer now, too!
We both appreciate top quality so, of course, we made a thorough inspection of the toy.
The discus toy passed the examination with great approval!
Mama, I’m off now because I have a new job!
The Finnish athlets haven’t been very succesful in the WC or the Olympic Games lately so I volonteered to be their coach in the throwing disciplines. I suggested mama will be coaching the runners. Not as a pace maker but as a ‘chace maker’. If she’s running after the athlets their speed will be amazing!! 🙂
First some warm-up is needed.
A good athlet must know his/her equipment so I’m making friends with the discus. It’s very important to use the most efficient technics.
And then I throw! Let’s see if I managed to beat my record ….
My aim is to throw it to the opposite side of the pool but oh no, the discus landed in the water.
Well, training makes a master so I keep training. Soon I can share my know-how with the Finnish athlets. After the discus I’m going for javelin!! And after that shot put! Oh bear, Finland is going to be a great sporting nation again!
I have contacted the IOC and suggested that water polo with a giant ball will be accepted as a new discipline in the Olympic Games. Please, keep your fingers crossed my idea will be accepted!
OK, accepted or not – I’m training anyway!
That was all for now because I’m very busy training, coaching and composing! Mama and I wish all the readers of Knuti’s Weekly a very happy Summer time!
