小熊帕丁頓第一次見到布朗先生和布朗太太是在一個火車站——帕丁頓車站。事實上，他藏在一艘船上從秘魯來到了英格蘭，隨身物品只有一瓶半空的果醬，一只手提箱和一張寫著“請照顧這只小熊。謝謝！”的標簽。布朗太太一下動了心，布朗先生雖然有些猶疑收養一只小熊是否合法，但他也喜歡小熊，于是他們決定把他帶回家，還給他起了名字，也就是車站的名字：帕丁頓。布朗一家很快發現，帕丁頓是一只最不尋常的小熊，就像洗澡這樣普通的事情，到了小熊帕丁頓那兒，也能變得相當非同凡響……

　　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.
