Two sisters were playing games on the bank of a river. They were playing happily. One of them was named Janny, the other was Rose.

While they there running to the foot of a hill, they saw a big brown bear standing before them. They were very frightened. They ran away at once.

"Please don't run! I won't eat you. I'm a man, not a bear, I'm friendly," the bear said. The two girls looked at the bear: the bear stood up, his hair all fell away. There, a young man stood, he was tall, he had good looks. "It's lucky for me to meet you, you can save me," he said.

"Who are you? How can we save you?"

"I'm Scoff. My father and mother don't know I'm a bear now. they are always looking for me. They don't know where I am. I see them often, but I cannot talk to them. Let me tell you something about me."

"I was a prince," the young man said, "One day, I played on the bank of the river, an old woman came, she said soothing and threw a brown coat at me.

The old woman turned me into a brown bear. She said,' Only when you' meet two girls on the bank of the river, and one of them is willing to be your wife can you be a man again' Today it's my good fortune to meet you here. If one of you is willing to be my wife, you can save me."

The two sister' faces turned red, the younger sister said. "If we can save you, I would like to be your wife." The prince said, "Thank goodness! Thank you very much. From now on, we're brother and sisters, the old woman cannot do anything to me. Let's go home, my father and mothe will be very happy to see us."

The prince took the two sisters to his home. The prince became the king, they were very happy.
