SECTION: CURRENT PAGE: NRV-2 EDITION: NEW RIVER VALLEY
Several paragraphs were missing in a New River Current story Sunday about Holly Beary at New River Valley Mall. Here are the paragraphs that were missing:
A guy about 18 approaches the bear. ``Hi, um ... what do you look like? No I mean, I'm sorry ...''
He looks embarrassed and stops. Perhaps he has just realized the utter depths he has sunk to - he has attempted to hit on a large stuffed bear.
I begin to wonder why I took this after-school, prime time-for-bored-teen-ager shift.
In his defense, this guy does bring something very important to my attention. ``Hey, your mouth's not moving,'' he says.
He offers to wait and tell me when it begins moving again.
``Uh, how do you fix that?'' he asks as he and a girl next to him laugh. ``Do you need an operation or something?''
Wise guy. I begin turning every small knob in the box.
``It's moving now, see ya.'' The bear thanks him.
