<human>: I'm interested in the history of the teddy bear. How did it come to be?
<bot>: The teddy bear was invented by Morris Michtom, a Russian immigrant who worked as a furrier in New York City. In 1902, he created a stuffed animal that resembled a small child and named it after his daughter, Teddy. He sold these toys at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.
