Hi Mr. Paddington

Hi Mr. Paddington! 
Can you give me a hug?

Seriously, I really love Paddington and I wish that i could have a friend but not a pet like Paddington. It's kind a unique or weird talking to a bear but don't you think its cool? I usually talks with my cats and dog and wish for their reply, so maybe that is how frustrated I'am for waiting for their response 
but watching Paddington makes me happy. For further introduction, Mr. Paddington is a bear who lives in the deep jungle of darkest peru. Montgomery Clyde, a British geographer has found a unknown species of bear and is about to shoot a bear so he could take it back as a specimen to England but then another bear playfully takes the gun away from his hands anf from then he found out that the species of these bears are intelligent that they could learn English and they have also a deep appetite for marmalade.

Years had past, the two bears living peacefully with their nephew when an earthquake strikes in their land. Distracted and lost because of the loss of his home, Paustino is unable to reach the shelter in time and disappears with his hat being found next day by his nephew. Aunt Lucy incourages her nephew to go and find solace in London and stows him on a cargo ship

The young bear reaches London but he fails to find his home He is found by the Brown family and got his name after the Station where they found the lost bear and it's Paddington. Henry Brown was supposed to let Paddington to stay for only one night while they were finding a place for him to live permanently.
Paddington thinks he can find a home with the explorer who found his aunt and uncle, but he does not know the explorer's name. With the help of Mary Brown takes Paddington to an antique shop owner who discovers that the hat bears the stamp of the Geographers Guild, but the Guild says that it never sent a member to explore darkest Peru. Paddington infiltrates the Geographers Guild archives and discovers an expedition to Peru was undertaken by Montgomery Clyde. He uses the city's phone books to track the addresses of all the "M Clyde"s in London.
Meanwhile, a sadistic museum taxidermist named Millicent Clyde captures, kills, and stuffs exotic animals to house in the Natural History Museum. When she becomes aware of Paddington, she immediately sets out to hunt him down. 
Feeling unwanted at the Browns, Paddington leaves and attempts to track Montgomery Clyde himself. He finally locates the house, only to discover that Clyde died many years ago, and that Millicent is actually his daughter – who resents her father for losing his job and membership with the museum; out of a change of heart, he refused to bring a valuable Peruvian bear specimen home, even though it would have made him the wealthiest man in the world. Millicent is determined to succeed where her father failed and become rich and famous herself. She tranquilises Paddington and prepares to stuff him, but when Mr. Curry discovers her true intentions, he informs the Brown family and they rush to save Paddington. They rescue him, and Paddington subdues Millicent by throwing a marmalade sandwich at her, which attracts a huge flock of pigeons, distracting her as family relative Mrs. Bird opens a roof hatch and inadvertently pushes her off of the roof, trapping her on a flagpole.
In the aftermath, the Browns adopt Paddington into their family and Millicent is sentenced to community service at a petting zoo. Paddington writes to Aunt Lucy saying he is happy and has finally found a home.

 "When I was small I never went to bed without a story. But I doubt my mother ever pictured me writing for a living. In fact, when I eventually gave up working for the BBC in order to write full time, I think both my parents were worried that I had given up a nice, safe job for what sounded to them like a very precarious existence."

"I bought a small toy bear on Christmas Eve 1956. I saw it left on a shelf in a London store and felt sorry for it. I took it home as a present for my wife Brenda and named it Paddington as we were living near Paddington Station at the time. I wrote some stories about the bear, more for fun than with the idea of having them published. After ten days I found that I had a book on my hands. It wasn’t written specifically for children, but I think I put into it the kind things I liked reading about when I was young."
