Achoo! Poor Bear is not feeling well - he's achy, sneezy and has a stuffed-up nose. He coughs and shivers and doesn't feel at all like playing outside with his friends. Mole, Hare and Mouse, and the rest of the gang try to make Bear feel as comfortable as possible in his cave. They wrap him in a blanket and fetch him some warm tea... and soon, with the care of his friends, Bear starts to feel better. But then just as he's ready to go outside and play, Mouse and Hare start to sneeze... now all his friends have caught Bear's cold. With gentle care and love Bear looks after his friends just as they looked after him.
