Little Bear loves to play and tumble in the snow, but Mother Bear warns him not to go too far on his own. She tells him that if he ever gets lost, he should look up at the stars, find the Great Bear and Little Bear stars, and wait for her. When a blizzard blows through and Little Bear gets separated from his mother, he remembers her words and waits under the stars. When Mother Bear finds him, he tells her the wonderful thing he saw in the sky: the two of them in the stars, together forever.
