“WELL,” Said Mr. Brown. “if you are coming home with us you’d better know our names. This is Mrs. Brown and I’m Mr. Brown.”
The bear raised its hat politely – twice. “I 11 not really a name,” he said. “Only a Peruvian one which no one can understand.”
“Then we’d better give you an English one,” said Mrs. Brown. “It’ll make things much 12 .” She looked round the station for inspiration. “It ought to be something special,” she said 13 . As she spoke an engine standing in one of the platforms gave a loud wail and a train began to move.“I know what!” she exclaimed. “We found you on Paddington station so we’ll call you Paddington!”
“Paddington!” The bear repeated it several times to make sure. “It seems a very long name.”
“Quite distinguished,” said Mr. Brown. “Yes, I like Paddington as a name. Paddington it shall be.”
Mrs. Brown stood up. “Good. Now, Paddington, I have to meet our little daughter, Judy, off the train. She 14 home from school. I’m sure you must be thirsty after your long journey, so you go along to the buffet with Mr. Brown and he’ll buy you a nice cup of tea.”
Paddington licked his lips. “I’m very thirsty,” he said. “Sea water 15 you thirsty.” He picked up his suitcase, pulled his hat down firmly over his head, and waved a paw politely in the direction of the buffet. “After you, Mr Brown.”
