The stuffed animal was a precious gift from his beloved grandmother. Reminiscing about her makes, Nobita asks Doraemon to take him back to the time when he was three years old and his grandma was still alive. Once they do arrive, they encounter younger versions of the main cast and Nobita gets mad at his younger self for shouting at his grandma for not getting the stuff he wants. During their time there, the teddy bear gets damaged after a dog gets a hold of it and Nobita chases after it. While Doraemon wants to leave, Nobita hesitates and as such sneaks into their house from seven years ago and meets his grandma face to face properly. While meeting her, he brings out his current schoolbag after his grandma asks for it and after that reveals his identity as Nobita from 7 years later with both of them crying as a result.
The short film ends with Nobita's mom repairing the teddy bear herself and Nobita's grandma presenting the Nobita from 7 years ago the patched up teddy bear.
