小熊帕丁顿第一次见到布朗先生和布朗太太是在一个火车站——帕丁顿车站。事实上，他藏在一艘船上从秘鲁来到了英格兰，随身物品只有一瓶半空的果酱，一只手提箱和一张写着“请照顾这只小熊。谢谢！”的标签。布朗太太一下动了心，布朗先生虽然有些犹疑收养一只小熊是否合法，但他也喜欢小熊，于是他们决定把他带回家，还给他起了名字，也就是车站的名字：帕丁顿。布朗一家很快发现，帕丁顿是一只最不寻常的小熊，就像洗澡这样普通的事情，到了小熊帕丁顿那儿，也能变得相当非同凡响……

　　The classic story of the small bear from Darkest Peru who stowed away on a ship headed for England. He arrived at Paddington Station with nothing but a suitcase, a half empty jar of marmalade and a label that read, 'Please look after this bear'. Mr and Mrs Brown discovered him, named him Paddington and welcomed him into their home,where he has lived ever since.
