I've read stories about him when I was 8 in the States. There was a summer book program at the city library near my school, which my sister and I both signed up for.
It was a program to encourage students to read more books. Since we were foreigners to them and we had no idea what books to choose, the host of the program, who happens to be the manager of that library, gave us names of the books she wanted us to read.
I started with some simple story books, and "A Bear Called Paddington" was my first assignment. I fell for that ridiculously cute bear in chapter one. The original copy of "Alice In Wonderland" was my last assignment, though I never finished it and fell asleep where Alice had her mad tea party.
Anyway, back to the subject ....oh yeah the poster in 7-11. They say that you'll have to purchase a medium coffee and collect one point for each cup. You can exchange for one Paddington Bear with six points, or with three points plus NT$49. I want the Paddington Bear, but I cannot drink coffee (the smell of coffee beans makes me puke). Therefore I would like to know if anyone who has those points and not planning to use them will be so kind as to give me the points. All I need is three points. Desperate......
