Grandpa Saba Bear Saves the Sun

Grandpa Saba Bear Saves the Sun is a story about a selfish crocodile who for his own amusement swallows the sun in the sky and in the middle of the day leaves the whole animal community in complete darkness. The animals call to each other to fight the crocodile but are afraid of his many sharp teeth. Instead, they go to a very peaceful Grandpa Saba Bear, who lives with the Grandma Baba Bear in a house full of books under a giant tree, and tell him to wrestle the sun from the crocodile. It is so dark outside that the Bear grandparents cannot see their grand-cubs who were playing in the yard. This makes both Grandpa Saba and Grandma Baba very worried and they go around searching for the little ones and growling pitifully. Mother Rabbit tells Grandpa Bear that the only solution is to put the sun back in the sky and make the day light again. The Bear fights the villainous crocodile, saves the sun, and finds his grandchildren. The purpose of the story is to teach children the importance of grandparents who can bring light into the lives of their grandkids and are always ready to do so.
