Description

The ‘Afternoon Tea’ is series inspired by all the strange and wonderful tea parties in my favorite stories. This is the beginning of the little story introducing the characters.

...

One late Sunday afternoon, I am drawing at my desk when, suddenly, a large wooden door appears on the paper.

‘Knock, knock!’ I hear and, not knowing how to open the door, I reply ‘Come in!’

The door creaks open and in comes the Sunbear saying, somewhat presumptuously, ‘Tea and honey would be fine!’

Knowing bears, I prepare a rather big pot of honey and mug full of hot tea.

‘Thank you! How do you like my sweater?’ asked the Sunbear, helping himself to the honey. But there is no time to admire his attire.

‘Knock, knock!’

Another knock on the door. I wonder ‘Who will it be?’

… to be continued ...
