Picture Book:
The Bear and the Girl
Part One
IN A CERTAIN TOWN, there was a young girl.
The girl had a mother she loved.
But, her mother was sick and bedridden.
The girl had no father.
The girl had to work for her mother’s sake in order to get medicine.
There wasn’t any work for little girls.
That was because no one would hire children.
The girl needed herbs and went into the woods to look for them.
There are many scary monsters in the woods.
But she needed to find herbs for her mother, whom she loved.
No matter how she looked, she couldn’t find any herbs.
Though it was dangerous, the girl wandered into the depths of the woods.
The girl got lost and was surrounded by wolves.
She cried out, but no one came to help.
Mother, I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I couldn’t find any herbs.
I’m sorry. I’m sorry.
She apologized even though no one could hear.
The moment the wolves seemed like they were about to attack, she was so scared she closed her eyes.
But, no matter how long she waited, they didn’t attack.
When she opened her eyes slowly, the wolves were dead.
How?
The girl looked around.
There was a bear there.
“Are you okay?”
The bear spoke to her.
“Thank you so much.”
The girl thanked the bear.
“Why are you in a place like this?”
Since the bear asked, the girl answered honestly.
The bear listened to her.
Then, the bear told her to get on its back.
The girl got on the bear’s back.
The bear ran incredibly fast.
The bear stopped.
There were tons of herbs there.
The girl thanked the bear and gathered the herbs.
Now she could make medicine for her mother.
“Thank you, bear.”
The bear smiled kindly.
The bear defeated any monsters that came near them as it carried her to the town.
The girl thanked the bear over and over again.
The bear kindly patted the girl’s head.
The bear waved goodbye.
After the girl bowed her head to the bear for the last time, she ran to the house where her sick mother was.
The bear headed home to the woods.
The girl made her mother’s medicine with the herbs she brought home.
Her mother thanked her by smiling.
The girl also smiled.
Thank you, bear.
