    There was once upon a time two children who lived in a wood with their mother they were very happy. One night a knock came to the door the children were terrified to see it was a big bear and he said "let me in it is very cold out here, the children let him in and he lay before the fire and they brushed the snow off him. He used come in every night and he became great friends with the children. One night after he coming in he turned into a Prince and if they did not live happy that we may.
