Heather loves collecting teddy bears. She has loads of them all around the house that she shares with her husband, Tom. She loves her teddy bears so much that she even dreams about them. The biggest bear is Peter and he arranges a get-together so that he can come to know them and for them all to come to know each other--but Heather and Tom mustn't know about this because it would be unbelievable. So one night, Peter gathers them together around the battery-powered lantern, which they use as a gathering point, and they chat amongst themselves, but they must all be back in their places within the house before Heather and Tom wake up. After their original get-together, they realise that there are some teddies in other rooms and perhaps these teddies don't know about the gathering. So next time they are invited, but there is still another one who they realise is missing because she hasn't heard about these gatherings--Garden Teddy who sits on the patio outside. So she is told about the gathering for their next meeting. After one meeting, Heather finds the lantern out on the rug and not in its usual place in the cupboard--so why is it there?
