William has a cold, but the other teddies don't believe him. When they are finally convinced, they all rally round to help. William rather likes all the fuss, and when he starts getting better, he becomes quite demanding. The other teddies get tired of this and go out in the snow to play. When they construct a sledge, William is suddenly well again! Large print. One special point: William 'sees things' at night when he has a temperature, and his friends assure him it is only because he is ill.
