In this section of the document, a story is being shared about a young girl named Miss Franny, who was depicted as smart and book-loving but also somewhat arrogant, referring to herself as “little-miss-know-it-all” and “miss-smarty-pants.” One day, she faced a wild bear in her library and displayed bravery and quick thinking by throwing a book at the bear to scare it away. The bear took the book with him as he fled, leaving Miss Franny with a memorable experience. As the story unfolds, Miss Franny reminisces about the incident when the bear took the book and how the townspeople teased her about it. She feels nostalgic as she recognizes she is the only one left who remembers that bear. When sharing her story with Opal, Miss Franny and Opal find common ground in their love for books and not having a mother. Opal then suggests that she, Miss Franny, and Winn-Dixie could all be friends, to which Miss Franny agrees happily.
