Egyptian Bear Bling
Mum came back from the overseas trip with heaps of jewellery and general bling. She bought stuff in Dubai, Egypt, France and the UK. All of her friends got a special bit of bling, and guess what, she even bought something for me. The thing on the chain around my neck is a heiroglyphic cartouche. Cartouches are the way that ancient Egyptians wrote their names. Well, Mum and I can read cartouches so I know that this one is really special. Most of the ones she bought back have the friend's name in them, but mine says "Ramses 11". Ramses 11 was the greatest Pharoah of them all, so this makes me the greatest small bear of all (maybe).
