A very special little bear lived deep in the woods. This bear was the loudest animal among them all. No, he didn’t sing opera. He didn’t hum, growl or whistle. He was loud, the loudest in the whole world because he was – snoring!
Grrrhhh! Snrrrk!
Grrrrrrhhhhhh! Snrrrrrrk!
Grrrrrrrrrhhhhhhhhh! Snrrrrrrrrrk!Since he was a little baby bear, everyone called him Snorybear.
Snorybear’s snoring bothered everyone. When he was snoring, nobody slept. The forest was shaking like it was an earthquake. That is why they decided to banish Snorybear and his family from their home.What they didn’t know is that after that, nothing will ever be the same…
Snorybear is a story about dreamers. These are individuals who deeply experience life and are carried away by their fantasies, ideas, visions and plans. They dream of a beautiful and great life.
Although at first glance they do not seem to contribute to society, we really need them because their dreams and ideas can help us find a way and solutions in difficult situations. Therefore, we should not try to change dreamers or push them away, especially those who dream of a better and safer world in which we love each other and accept each other as we are.
