Interpretation

As I started painting the bear, I had no exact plans, but I did realize that he still needed organs necessary for life, because as he stood there before me, he looked pale and sick. Thus, I gave him a heart and all of the important internal organs, so that he could live a long, healthy and relaxed life.
