Two sisters are playing games on the bank of a river．They are playing happily．One of them is Jenny, and the other is Rose．While they are running to the foot of a hill, they see a big brown bear standing before them．They are much frightened, and they run away at once．
“Please don't run! I won't eat you．I am a man, not a bear．I'm friendly,”the bear says．The two girls are looking at the bear．The bear stands up, his hair all falls there, a young man stands, he is tall, and has good looks．“It's lucky for me to meet you, you can save me,”says he．
“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 looking for me all the time．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 says．“One day, I played on the bank of the river, and old woman came, she said something 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, you can be a man again．’Today, it's my luck to meet you here．If one of you is willing to be my wife, you can save me．”The two sisters' faces turn red．The younger sister says,“I think I can save you, I would like to be your wife．”The prince says,“Thank goodness! Thank you very much．From now on, we are brother and sisters, the old woman cannot do anything to me．Let's go home, my father and mother will be very happy to see us．”
The prince takes the two sisters to his home．The prince becomes the king, they are very happy．
