| 2 | "Dear Papa Bear, I've always admired your humble strength. So I chose to become 'the Panda' because they remind me of you. You taught me that shyness is a virtue. You don't have to walk into a room banging your chest. Coming from the world's greatest family in the forest, I learned to fight for all my dreams full force. And being as I love to sing, I have an animal instinct that this competition will be no match for me. Here, I'm taking a page out of your book and creating my own legacy. I hope I can make you proud. So pan-da camera to my good side. This one's for you." |
