Snow-White and Rose-Red
Two sisters help a bear friend and learn that kindness brings magic and happiness.
Snow-White and Rose-Red were two happy sisters who lived with their gentle mother in a small house by the forest. Snow-White loved wearing her favorite blue hairband, and Rose-Red loved bringing red flowers home for the kitchen. Each morning, the girls sang to birds and petted the rabbits that jumped by their door.
One cold, snowy night, there was a knock at their door. When they opened it, a very big brown bear stood outside! But this bear had smiling eyes and a kind, gentle voice. "Can I sit by your fire, please?" he asked softly. Snow-White, Rose-Red, and their mother said, "Of course!" The bear curled up on a rug and listened to the girls' funny stories while he warmed his big paws.
After that, the bear visited every winter evening. He and the girls played silly games and shared baked apples. Soon, it was spring, and the bear said, "Thank you for letting me stay warm. I must go now, but I hope to see you again!" The sisters promised to remember him always.
One sunny day, Snow-White and Rose-Red went for a walk in the green woods. They soon found a tiny man with a long gray beard stuck in some brambles. He huffed and tugged, but he couldn't get free. The girls gently helped him, but instead of saying "thank you," the little man just grumbled, "Now my beard is messy!" and stomped away.
Later, they saw the little man again, trying to pull some shiny pebbles from a stream. He dropped them all with a splash and blamed the girls, "You frightened me! Go away!" Snow-White and Rose-Red simply smiled and wished him good luck.
On their way home, they saw the little man a third time—this time trying to knock apples down from a tree. Suddenly, the friendly brown bear came out from the woods! The little man yelped and ran off, dropping a small pouch of sparkly stones. The bear came closer, shook off his fur, and—surprise!—he was really a kind prince under a spell. "Your kindness broke the magic!" the prince said, hugging the sisters. Snow-White and Rose-Red laughed and danced, so happy their friend was free.
From then on, the sisters, their mother, and their new prince friend enjoyed picnics, told stories, and shared giggles together. Snow-White and Rose-Red learned that being kind can fill every day with a little more joy.
