Corduroy is a bear who once lived in the toy department of a big store.Day after day he waited with all the other animals and dolls for somebody to come along and take him home.
The store was always filled with shoppers buying all sorts of things,but no one ever seemed to want a small bear in green overalls.
Then one morning a little girl stopped and looked straight into Corduroy's bright eyes.
"Oh, Mommy!" she said. "Look! There's the very bear I've always wanted."
"Not today, dear." Her mother sighed. "I've spent too much already.Besides, he doesn't look new. He's lost the button to one of his shoulder straps."
Corduroy watched them sadly as they walked away.
"I didn't know I'd lost a button," he said to himself."Tonight I'll go and see if I can find it."
Late that evening, when all the shoppers had gone and the doors were shut and locked,
Corduroy climbed carefully down from his shelf and began searching everywhere on the floor for his lost button.
Suddenly he felt the floor moving under him!Quite by accident he had stepped onto an escalator—and up he went!
"Could this be a mountain?" he wondered."I think I've always wanted to climb a mountain."
He stepped off the escalator as it reached the next floor, and there, before his eyes, was a most amazing sight—
tables and chairs and lamps and sofas, and rows and rows of beds."This must be a palace!" Corduroy gasped."I guess I've always wanted to live in a palace."
He wandered around admiring the furniture.
"This must be a bed," he said. "I've always wanted to sleep in a bed."And up he crawled onto a large, thick mattress.
All at once he saw something small and round.
"Why, here's my button!" he cried. And he tried to pick it up.But, like all the other buttons on the mattress, it was tied down tight.
