This is a story of my childhood.  I am Rose Red, and I live in a small cottage with my mom and younger sister, Snow White.

# data[].attributes.body
Our cottage was very small, but in the middle of a beautiful garden with two rose trees, one white and the other red.

# data[].attributes.body
My sister and I were always happy, but very different.  I liked to run through the fields picking flowers and playing with the animals, but Snow White preferred to stay at home with our mother and help her do housework or read.

# data[].attributes.body
My sister and I vowed to never leave each other or our mother as long as we lived.  We agreed that what one had must be shared with the other.  My sister and I had many adventures together running through the forest. We played with the cute, brown bunnies and loved to watch the blue birds sing in the trees.

We loved to make our mom happy, so we help keep our cottage very neat.

Every morning, I bring flowers of a rose from each tree to my mother’s bedside.

In the winter, my sister always lights the fire in the fireplace.  At night, our mother loves to read to us.

We have many pets, including two cute puppies, three fish, and one guinea pig.

One night as we were sitting together in our cottage, there was a knock at the door.  My mother said, “Quick, Rose Red, open the door, it must be a traveler who is seeking shelter.”  I ran to the door thinking it would be a poor man on the other side.

However, it was a huge black bear whose head was higher than the door.  I screamed and jumped back, our puppies barked and the guinea pig hid.

# data[].attributes.body
The bear yelled out, “Do not be afraid.  I will not harm you.  I only want to warm myself a little.”  My mother felt sorry for the bear and told him to lie down by the fire place.  She then called for my sister and I to come out and told us that he meant us no harm.  We got a broom and swept the snow from the bears fur, and he settled comfortably in front of the fire.

# data[].attributes.body
Pretty soon, we became great friends with the bear.  We loved to play on top of him and roll around in his fur.  The bear started coming every night at bedtime until early spring.  When spring came the bear said, “Now I must go away, and cannot come back for the whole summer”.

# data[].attributes.body
He also told Snow White that he had to go into the forest and guard his treasures from the wicked dwarfs because they pry and steal.  The girls were sorry for him having to leave because they would miss him.  As he left, Snow White caught a glimpse of gold shinning through the bears thick coat.

Several days later, our mom sent us out to collect firewood.

# data[].attributes.body
We came across an old dwarf with a wrinkled face and very long beard.  His beard was caught in a tree and he was jumping around trying to free himself.  The dwarf yelled at us, “Why are you standing there, you need to come help me”.  I asked him what he was doing at the tree.

# data[].attributes.body
His answer was he was trying to get wood for cooking.  However, the wood was too smooth and his beard got caught tight.  My sister and I tried very hard, but could not get his beard free.  I offered to go get help, but he called me a “senseless goose and asked why I could not think of something better to help him.”

# data[].attributes.body
At that moment, my sister pulled out her scissors and cut his beard.  This made the dwarf very mad and he yelled,”bad luck to you both” and ran off into the woods.

# data[].attributes.body
Several days later, our mother sent us to town to buy needles, thread and material.

# data[].attributes.body
On the road, we noticed a huge bird flying around and around our heads.  Soon we heard a loud pitiful cry.  We ran over and realized that the bird had the old dwarf in his talons and planned to carry him off.  We grabbed the dwarf quickly and pulled so hard that the bird finally released him.

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of being grateful, he screamed, “Could you not have done it more carefully? You are helpless clumsy creatures.”.  We were now used to his ungratefulness so we went on our way to town.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course on our way home, we saw the dwarf again with his precious stones dumped out on the ground.

# data[].attributes.body
All of a sudden a black bear came running towards us from the forest.  The dwarf screamed, “Mr. Bear, spare me, I will give you all of my treasures. Come, take these two wicked girls and eat them.”

# data[].attributes.body
The bear reached out with his paw and struck the dwarf, who fell to the ground dead.  We ran away frightened, but the bear called out to us to wait on him.  We recognized his voice.  When he reached us, his bear skin fell off, and there was a handsome man all clothed in gold.

# data[].attributes.body
“I am the son of a King, and that wicked dwarf stole my treasures.  I have had to be a savage bear in the forest until his death freed me.  He now has his well deserved punishment.”
