Biography of Willie
Many years ago Willie, who was the eldest out of 7 siblings, was educated into cirkusartistery. And it was quite easy for him, as he had tinkers blood running in his veins.
Unfortunately his entire family perished at an train accident, when their horsecarriage rolled across the traintracks. Here Willie was standing, all alone - with a horsecarriage in a wood close to the railroad. We don`t know much of his life later on, just that he feels most comfortable out in the nature, though he is okay with all the other bears as well.
