    However, they had to be careful. Not everyone would understand a talking teddy bear, and they might try to take him away.

    One day at the market, a curious merchant almost discovered the teddy bear's secret. Bolanle quickly intervened, saving her friend from the suspicious eyes.

    The close call made them even more cautious. They decided to only let the teddy bear talk when they were alone and safe.
