Birth, life and death. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Coincidence?

The Teddy Bear is loved by children in every part of
the world. This stuffed toy was born in November 1902.
President Theodore Roosevelt, hunting grizzly bears,
came upon a small bear cub that some members of his
hunting party had captured. The President refused to
shoot the cub and insisted on turning the bear loose.
Clifford Berryman, a cartoonist for The Washington
Post, read of the episode. He drew a cartoon of Teddy
and the bear. Morris Mitchom, a Brooklyn toy-maker,
decided to make a bear and gave it the president's
nickname. Thereafter the "teddy bear" found a place in
the hearts of young and old alike.
