"Once I was slow. / I couldn't catch up. / You waited for me." A small creature describes all of the things that his friend, a bear with a fancy for snazzy shirts, has done for him, including forgiving him after an argument. The spare, unfussy text and the loose, bold images of the tastefully anthropomorphized friends steer clear of sentimentality.
