Well us Tat's have been looking out of the window for three days now, there has been no break in the rain.
So we decided to go up to the shed and build something to enable us to get around in all this water, we are quite dab paws at this as we have built one before some time ago! so with lots of banging and hard work and some technical input from Ting Bear (who is our technical consultant) we emerged from the shed with our Tat submarine MKII.
“Woo Hoo lets go straight down to the boating lake” Tat 2 said. (The boating lake is the home of many of our adventures!)
Jack the man who runs the boats at the boating lake said "that's a good effort Bears but I don't think it will work" “well we will have to wait and see about that Jack” I replied So there we were two Bears one submarine and a doubting boatman, standing on the bank of the boating lake.
I smashed the bottle of shampoo on the submarine's bow we pushed and pushed the sub moved slowly towards the water, "I name this sub Tat of the deep" I cried at the top of my voice "May all who sail in her have as much fun as we did building her" the sub floated out on the water and I have to say looked very good.
Tat 2 climbed aboard with his Naval issue sunglasses at that point there was a slight problem the shampoo had turned to bubbles and we were surrounded by them, but not to worry we have more important things to think about.

Jack the boatman was still mumbling something about Bears and boats as Tat2 set sail across the lake he approached the mid way point and gave the signal "dive dive dive" the sub started to go down into the depths Tat 2 and the sub disappeared with a bubbling sound.
Now the plan was to surface straight away just to make sure things were working right, but ten minuets later there was still no sign of Tat 2, by this time Jack the boat man had got in his boat and was rowing at speed to where we last saw Tat 2.

Well I am terribly worried now as its been some time since Tat 2 and the submarine went down into the depths of the boating lake.
The rain had stopped and the sun had come out "oh Tat 2 where are you you stupid bear". At that point Ting Bear arrived on the bank side he started telling me about all the safety systems he built into the submarine, "I don't think they are working Ting I should get Jack the boatman to pull the plug on the lake?” I said “I fear its all to late for that it would take ages for the water to drain! Tat I have a remote control for the safety systems don't panic.” Ting said “well get on with it Ting” I cried. Ting started pushing some buttons on a remote then the handset made some funny noises fizz bang flash!! Ting started hitting the remote I could not bear it any longer. I left him and walked off around the lake thinking of poor Tat 2 down in the submarine there must be something I can do.

Hours went by as I sat on the side of the lake blankly gazing into the black water I was feeling very down and numb, I heard someone behind me say “Good day for it weather turned out nice in the end” I coldly replied “Not really” the voice came back again with “well that's not much of a welcome after all I have been through” at that point I realized who was talking to me.

“Tat 2! Tat 2 Woo Hooooooooooo Taaaaat 2 you're alive” I jumped to my feet and gave my brother a big hug “whaaat haaaappened Tat 2” “oh Tat as I went down into the water I ran into a Cormorant who was fishing for his lunch and he got his beak caught in the tow line” “Oh dear” I said "well yes the trouble was he got scared I think he thought the submarine was a big fish chasing him, he pulled me all over the lake underwater until we hit the far bank as we hit the impact caused the air tank to burst and the Cormorant to escape but I was stuck there I could not move" “well what happened how did you get out of the sub and your fur is still dry how come?” I asked.

“You know what Ting bear is like he had put in all this safety equipment, I was just thinking this could be the end of me, when suddenly a big red light came on and I heard a loud bang the next thing I knew was I was laying on some grass behind the trees”

“Oh I don't understand Tat 2?” “Oh its simple there was a Bear to surface escape system fitted to the submarine although I cant remember much about going up through the water or flying through the air but it worked” Tat 2 said excitedly.
“Oh its just so good to see you standing there woo hoo I'm the happiest bear alive” So this time everything ended up all right I have to say I think we will leave the submarine where it is in a watery grave, but I must thank Ting Bear for taking the time to fit all the safety systems, its down to him for saving my best friend and brother Tat 2 thank you Ting Bear.
Love Tat x
