"There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called snow-white, and the other rose-red. They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful as ever two children in the world were, only snow-white was more quiet and gentle than rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies, but snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her house-work, or read to her when there was nothing to do. The two children were so fond of one another that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when snow-white said, we will not leave each other, rose-red answered, never so long as we live, and their mother would add, what one has she must share with the other. They often ran about the forest alone and gathered red berries, and no beasts did them any harm, but came close to them trustfully. The little hare would eat a cabbage-leaf out of their hands, the roe grazed by their side, the stag leapt merrily by them, and the birds sat still upon the boughs, and sang whatever they knew. No mishap overtook them, if they had stayed too late in the forest, and night came on, they laid themselves down near one another upon the moss, and slept until morning came, and their mother knew this and did not worry on their account. Once when they had spent the night in the wood and the dawn had roused them, they saw a beautiful child in a shining white dress sitting near their bed. He got up and looked quite kindly at them, but said nothing and went away into the forest. And when they looked round they found that they had been sleeping quite close to a precipice, and would certainly have fallen into it in the darkness if they had gone only a few paces further. And their mother told them that it must have been the angel who watches over good children. Snow-white and rose-red kept their mother's little cottage so neat that it was a pleasure to look inside it. In the summer rose-red took care of the house, and every morning laid a wreath of flowers by her mother's bed before she awoke, in which was a rose from each tree. In the winter snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the hob. The kettle was of brass and shone like gold, so brightly was it polished. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, go, snow-white, and bolt the door, and then they sat round the hearth, and the mother took her spectacles and read aloud out of a large book, and the two girls listened as they sat and spun. And close by them lay a lamb upon the floor, and behind them upon a perch sat a white dove with its head hidden beneath its wings. One evening, as they were thus sitting comfortably together, someone knocked at the door as if he wished to be let in. The mother said, quick, rose-red, open the door, it must be a traveler who is seeking shelter. Rose-red went and pushed back the bolt, thinking that it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a bear that stretched his broad, black head within the door. Rose-red screamed and sprang back, the lamb bleated, the dove fluttered, and snow-white hid herself behind her mother's bed. But the bear began to speak and said, do not be afraid, I will do you no harm. I am half-frozen, and only want to warm myself a little beside you. Poor bear, said the mother, lie down by the fire, only take care that you do not burn your coat. Then she cried, snow-white, rose-red, come out, the bear will do you no harm, he means well. So they both came out, and by-and-by the lamb and dove came nearer, and were not afraid of him. The bear said, here, children, knock the snow out of my coat a little. So they brought the broom and swept the bear's hide clean, and he stretched himself by the fire and growled contentedly and comfortably. It was not long before they grew quite at home, and played tricks with their clumsy guest. They tugged his hair with their hands, put their feet upon his back and rolled him about, or they took a hazel-switch and beat him, and when he growled they laughed. But the bear took it all in good part, only when they were too rough he called out, leave me alive, children, snow-white, rose-red, will you beat your wooer dead. When it was bed-time, and the others went to bed, the mother said to the bear, you can lie there by the hearth, and then you will be safe from the cold and the bad weather. As soon as day dawned the two children let him out, and he trotted across the snow into the forest. Henceforth the bear came every evening at the same time, laid himself down by the hearth, and let the children amuse themselves with him as much as they liked. And they got so used to him that the doors were never fastened until their black friend had arrived. When spring had come and all outside was green, the bear said one morning to snow-white, now I must go away, and cannot come back for the whole summer. Where are you going, then, dear bear, asked snow-white. I must go into the forest and guard my treasures from the wicked dwarfs. In the winter, when the earth is frozen hard, they are obliged to stay below and cannot work their way through, but now, when the sun has thawed and warmed the earth, they break through it, and come out to pry and steal. And what once gets into their hands, and in their caves, does not easily see daylight again. Snow-white was quite sorry at his departure, and as she unbolted the door for him, and the bear was hurrying out, he caught against the bolt and a piece of his hairy coat was torn off, and it seemed to snow-white as if she had seen gold shining through it, but she was not sure about it. The bear ran away quickly, and was soon out of sight behind the trees. A short time afterwards the mother sent her children into the forest to get fire-wood. There they found a big tree which lay felled on the ground, and close by the trunk something was jumping backwards and forwards in the grass, but they could not make out what it was. When they came nearer they saw a dwarf with an old withered face and a snow-white beard a yard long. The end of the beard was caught in a crevice of the tree, and the little fellow was jumping about like a dog tied to a rope, and did not know what to do. He glared at the girls with his fiery red eyes and cried, why do you stand there. Can you not come here and help me. What are you up to, little man, asked rose-red. You stupid, prying goose, answered the dwarf. I was going to split the tree to get a little wood for cooking. The little bit of food that we people get is immediately burnt up with heavy logs. We do not swallow so much as you coarse, greedy folk. I had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished, but the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out, and the tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard, so now it is tight in and I cannot get away, and the silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How odious you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out, it was caught too fast. I will run and fetch someone, said rose-red. You senseless goose, snarled the dwarf. Why should you fetch someone. You are already two too many for me. Can you not think of something better. Don't be impatient, said snow-white, I will help you, and she pulled her scissors out of her pocket, and cut off the end of the beard. As soon as the dwarf felt himself free he laid hold of a bag which lay amongst the roots of the tree, and which was full of gold, and lifted it up, grumbling to himself, uncouth people, to cut off a piece of my fine beard. Bad luck to you, and then he swung the bag upon his back, and went off without even once looking at the children. Some time afterwards snow-white and rose-red went to catch a dish of fish. As they came near the brook they saw something like a large grasshopper jumping towards the water, as if it were going to leap in. They ran to it and found it was the dwarf. Where are you going, said rose-red, you surely don't want to go into the water. I am not such a fool, cried the dwarf. Don't you see that the accursed fish wants to pull me in. The little man had been sitting there fishing, and unluckily the wind had tangled up his beard with the fishing-line. A moment later a big fish made a bite and the feeble creature had not strength to pull it out. The fish kept the upper hand and pulled the dwarf towards him. He held on to all the reeds and rushes, but it was of little good, for he was forced to follow the movements of the fish, and was in urgent danger of being dragged into the water. The girls came just in time. They held him fast and tried to free his beard from the line, but all in vain, beard and line were entangled fast together. There was nothing to do but to bring out the scissors and cut the beard, whereby a small part of it was lost. When the dwarf saw that he screamed out, is that civil, you toadstool, to disfigure a man's face. Was it not enough to clip off the end of my beard. Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let myself be seen by my people. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes. Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath upon which huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them. It sank lower and lower, and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry. They ran up and saw with horror that the eagle had seized their old acquaintance the dwarf, and was going to carry him off. The children, full of pity, at once took tight hold of the little man, and pulled against the eagle so long that at last he let his booty go. As soon as the dwarf had recovered from his first fright he cried with his shrill voice, could you not have done it more carefully. You dragged at my brown coat so that it is all torn and full of holes, you clumsy creatures. Then he took up a sack full of precious stones, and slipped away again under the rock into his hole. The girls, who by this time were used to his ingratitude, went on their way and did their business in the town. As they crossed the heath again on their way home they surprised the dwarf, who had emptied out his bag of precious stones in a clean spot, and had not thought that anyone would come there so late. The evening sun shone upon the brilliant stones. They glittered and sparkled with all colors so beautifully that the children stood still and stared at them. Why do you stand gaping there, cried the dwarf, and his ashen-gray face became copper-red with rage. He was still cursing when a loud growling was heard, and a black bear came trotting towards them out of the forest. The dwarf sprang up in a fright, but he could not reach his cave, for the bear was already close. Then in the dread of his heart he cried, dear mr. Bear, spare me, I will give you all my treasures, look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Grant me my life. What do you want with such a slender little fellow as I. You would not feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two wicked girls, they are tender morsels for you, fat as young quails, for mercy's sake eat them. The bear took no heed of his words, but gave the wicked creature a single blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called to them, snow-white and rose-red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you. Then they recognised his voice and waited, and when he came up to them suddenly his bearskin fell off, and he stood there, a handsome man, clothed all in gold. I am a king's son, he said, and I was bewitched by that wicked dwarf, who had stolen my treasures. I have had to run about the forest as a savage bear until I was freed by his death. Now he has got his well-deserved punishment. Snow-white was married to him, and rose-red to his brother, and they divided between them the great treasure which the dwarf had gathered together in his cave. The old mother lived peacefully and happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose-trees with her, and they stood before her window, and every year bore the most beautiful roses, white and red."

You stupid, prying goose, answered the dwarf. I was going to split the tree to get a little wood for cooking. The little bit of food that we people get is immediately burnt up with heavy logs. We do not swallow so much as you coarse, greedy folk. I had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished, but the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out, and the tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard, so now it is tight in and I cannot get away, and the silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How odious you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out, it was caught too fast. I will run and fetch someone, said rose-red. You senseless goose, snarled the dwarf. Why should you fetch someone. You are already two too many for me. Can you not think of something better. Don't be impatient, said snow-white, I will help you, and she pulled her scissors out of her pocket, and cut off the end of the beard. As soon as the dwarf felt himself free he laid hold of a bag which lay amongst the roots of the tree, and which was full of gold, and lifted it up, grumbling to himself, uncouth people, to cut off a piece of my fine beard. Bad luck to you, and then he swung the bag upon his back, and went off without even once looking at the children. Some time afterwards snow-white and rose-red went to catch a dish of fish. As they came near the brook they saw something like a large grasshopper jumping towards the water, as if it were going to leap in. They ran to it and found it was the dwarf. Where are you going, said rose-red, you surely don't want to go into the water. I am not such a fool, cried the dwarf. Don't you see that the accursed fish wants to pull me in. The little man had been sitting there fishing, and unluckily the wind had tangled up his beard with the fishing-line. A moment later a big fish made a bite and the feeble creature had not strength to pull it out. The fish kept the upper hand and pulled the dwarf towards him. He held on to all the reeds and rushes, but it was of little good, for he was forced to follow the movements of the fish, and was in urgent danger of being dragged into the water. The girls came just in time. They held him fast and tried to free his beard from the line, but all in vain, beard and line were entangled fast together. There was nothing to do but to bring out the scissors and cut the beard, whereby a small part of it was lost. When the dwarf saw that he screamed out, is that civil, you toadstool, to disfigure a man's face. Was it not enough to clip off the end of my beard. Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let myself be seen by my people. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes. Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath upon which huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them. It sank lower and lower, and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry. They ran up and saw with horror that the eagle had seized their old acquaintance the dwarf, and was going to carry him off. The children, full of pity, at once took tight hold of the little man, and pulled against the eagle so long that at last he let his booty go. As soon as the dwarf had recovered from his first fright he cried with his shrill voice, could you not have done it more carefully. You dragged at my brown coat so that it is all torn and full of holes, you clumsy creatures. Then he took up a sack full of precious stones, and slipped away again under the rock into his hole. The girls, who by this time were used to his ingratitude, went on their way and did their business in the town. As they crossed the heath again on their way home they surprised the dwarf, who had emptied out his bag of precious stones in a clean spot, and had not thought that anyone would come there so late. The evening sun shone upon the brilliant stones. They glittered and sparkled with all colors so beautifully that the children stood still and stared at them. Why do you stand gaping there, cried the dwarf, and his ashen-gray face became copper-red with rage. He was still cursing when a loud growling was heard, and a black bear came trotting towards them out of the forest. The dwarf sprang up in a fright, but he could not reach his cave, for the bear was already close. Then in the dread of his heart he cried, dear mr. Bear, spare me, I will give you all my treasures, look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Grant me my life. What do you want with such a slender little fellow as I. You would not feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two wicked girls, they are tender morsels for you, fat as young quails, for mercy's sake eat them. The bear took no heed of his words, but gave the wicked creature a single blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called to them, snow-white and rose-red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you. Then they recognised his voice and waited, and when he came up to them suddenly his bearskin fell off, and he stood there, a handsome man, clothed all in gold. I am a king's son, he said, and I was bewitched by that wicked dwarf, who had stolen my treasures. I have had to run about the forest as a savage bear until I was freed by his death. Now he has got his well-deserved punishment. Snow-white was married to him, and rose-red to his brother, and they divided between them the great treasure which the dwarf had gathered together in his cave. The old mother lived peacefully and happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose-trees with her, and they stood before her window, and every year bore the most beautiful roses, white and red."

"clean_text": "There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called snow-white, and the other rose-red. They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful as ever two children in the world were, only snow-white was more quiet and gentle than rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies, but snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her house-work, or read to her when there was nothing to do. The two children were so fond of one another that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when snow-white said, we will not leave each other, rose-red answered, never so long as we live, and their mother would add, what one has she must share with the other. They often ran about the forest alone and gathered red berries, and no beasts did them any harm, but came close to them trustfully. The little hare would eat a cabbage-leaf out of their hands, the roe grazed by their side, the stag leapt merrily by them, and the birds sat still upon the boughs, and sang whatever they knew. No mishap overtook them, if they had stayed too late in the forest, and night came on, they laid themselves down near one another upon the moss, and slept until morning came, and their mother knew this and did not worry on their account. Once when they had spent the night in the wood and the dawn had roused them, they saw a beautiful child in a shining white dress sitting near their bed. He got up and looked quite kindly at them, but said nothing and went away into the forest. And when they looked round they found that they had been sleeping quite close to a precipice, and would certainly have fallen into it in the darkness if they had gone only a few paces further. And their mother told them that it must have been the angel who watches over good children. Snow-white and rose-red kept their mother's little cottage so neat that it was a pleasure to look inside it. In the summer rose-red took care of the house, and every morning laid a wreath of flowers by her mother's bed before she awoke, in which was a rose from each tree. In the winter snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the hob. The kettle was of brass and shone like gold, so brightly was it polished. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, go, snow-white, and bolt the door, and then they sat round the hearth, and the mother took her spectacles and read aloud out of a large book, and the two girls listened as they sat and spun. And close by them lay a lamb upon the floor, and behind them upon a perch sat a white dove with its head hidden beneath its wings. One evening, as they were thus sitting comfortably together, someone knocked at the door as if he wished to be let in. The mother said, quick, rose-red, open the door, it must be a traveler who is seeking shelter. Rose-red went and pushed back the bolt, thinking that it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a bear that stretched his broad, black head within the door. Rose-red screamed and sprang back, the lamb bleated, the dove fluttered, and snow-white hid herself behind her mother's bed. But the bear began to speak and said, do not be afraid, I will do you no harm. I am half-frozen, and only want to warm myself a little beside you. Poor bear, said the mother, lie down by the fire, only take care that you do not burn your coat. Then she cried, snow-white, rose-red, come out, the bear will do you no harm, he means well. So they both came out, and by-and-by the lamb and dove came nearer, and were not afraid of him. The bear said, here, children, knock the snow out of my coat a little. So they brought the broom and swept the bear's hide clean, and he stretched himself by the fire and growled contentedly and comfortably. It was not long before they grew quite at home, and played tricks with their clumsy guest. They tugged his hair with their hands, put their feet upon his back and rolled him about, or they took a hazel-switch and beat him, and when he growled they laughed. But the bear took it all in good part, only when they were too rough he called out, leave me alive, children, snow-white, rose-red, will you beat your wooer dead. When it was bed-time, and the others went to bed, the mother said to the bear, you can lie there by the hearth, and then you will be safe from the cold and the bad weather. As soon as day dawned the two children let him out, and he trotted across the snow into the forest. Henceforth the bear came every evening at the same time, laid himself down by the hearth, and let the children amuse themselves with him as much as they liked. And they got so used to him that the doors were never fastened until their black friend had arrived. When spring had come and all outside was green, the bear said one morning to snow-white, now I must go away, and cannot come back for the whole summer. Where are you going, then, dear bear, asked snow-white. I must go into the forest and guard my treasures from the wicked dwarfs. In the winter, when the earth is frozen hard, they are obliged to stay below and cannot work their way through, but now, when the sun has thawed and warmed the earth, they break through it, and come out to pry and steal. And what once gets into their hands, and in their caves, does not easily see daylight again. Snow-white was quite sorry at his departure, and as she unbolted the door for him, and the bear was hurrying out, he caught against the bolt and a piece of his hairy coat was torn off, and it seemed to snow-white as if she had seen gold shining through it, but she was not sure about it. The bear ran away quickly, and was soon out of sight behind the trees. A short time afterwards the mother sent her children into the forest to get fire-wood. There they found a big tree which lay felled on the ground, and close by the trunk something was jumping backwards and forwards in the grass, but they could not make out what it was. When they came nearer they saw a dwarf with an old withered face and a snow-white beard a yard long. The end of the beard was caught in a crevice of the tree, and the little fellow was jumping about like a dog tied to a rope, and did not know what to do. He glared at the girls with his fiery red eyes and cried, why do you stand there. Can you not come here and help me. What are you up to, little man, asked rose-red. You stupid, prying goose, answered the dwarf. I was going to split the tree to get a little wood for cooking. The little bit of food that we people get is immediately burnt up with heavy logs.

And their mother told them that it must have been the angel who watches over good children.",
"Snow-white and rose-red kept their mother's little cottage so neat that it was a pleasure to look inside it. In the summer rose-red took care of the house, and every morning laid a wreath of flowers by her mother's bed before she awoke, in which was a rose from each tree. In the winter snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the hob. The kettle was of brass and shone like gold, so brightly was it polished. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, go, snow-white, and bolt the door, and then they sat round the hearth, and the mother took her spectacles and read aloud out of a large book, and the two girls listened as they sat and spun. And close by them lay a lamb upon the floor, and behind them upon a perch sat a white dove with its head hidden beneath its wings.",
"One evening, as they were thus sitting comfortably together, someone knocked at the door as if he wished to be let in. The mother said, quick, rose-red, open the door, it must be a traveler who is seeking shelter. Rose-red went and pushed back the bolt, thinking that it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a bear that stretched his broad, black head within the door. Rose-red screamed and sprang back, the lamb bleated, the dove fluttered, and snow-white hid herself behind her mother's bed. But the bear began to speak and said, do not be afraid, I will do you no harm. I am half-frozen, and only want to warm myself a little beside you. Poor bear, said the mother, lie down by the fire, only take care that you do not burn your coat.",
"Then she cried, snow-white, rose-red, come out, the bear will do you no harm, he means well. So they both came out, and by-and-by the lamb and dove came nearer, and were not afraid of him. The bear said, here, children, knock the snow out of my coat a little. So they brought the broom and swept the bear's hide clean, and he stretched himself by the fire and growled contentedly and comfortably. It was not long before they grew quite at home, and played tricks with their clumsy guest. They tugged his hair with their hands, put their feet upon his back and rolled him about, or they took a hazel-switch and beat him, and when he growled they laughed.",
"But the bear took it all in good part, only when they were too rough he called out, leave me alive, children, snow-white, rose-red, will you beat your wooer dead. When it was bed-time, and the others went to bed, the mother said to the bear, you can lie there by the hearth, and then you will be safe from the cold and the bad weather. As soon as day dawned the two children let him out, and he trotted across the snow into the forest. Henceforth the bear came every evening at the same time, laid himself down by the hearth, and let the children amuse themselves with him as much as they liked. And they got so used to him that the doors were never fastened until their black friend had arrived.",
"When spring had come and all outside was green, the bear said one morning to snow-white, now I must go away, and cannot come back for the whole summer. Where are you going, then, dear bear, asked snow-white. I must go into the forest and guard my treasures from the wicked dwarfs. In the winter, when the earth is frozen hard, they are obliged to stay below and cannot work their way through, but now, when the sun has thawed and warmed the earth, they break through it, and come out to pry and steal. And what once gets into their hands, and in their caves, does not easily see daylight again.",
"Snow-white was quite sorry at his departure, and as she unbolted the door for him, and the bear was hurrying out, he caught against the bolt and a piece of his hairy coat was torn off, and it seemed to snow-white as if she had seen gold shining through it, but she was not sure about it. The bear ran away quickly, and was soon out of sight behind the trees. A short time afterwards the mother sent her children into the forest to get fire-wood. There they found a big tree which lay felled on the ground, and close by the trunk something was jumping backwards and forwards in the grass, but they could not make out what it was. When they came nearer they saw a dwarf with an old withered face and a snow-white beard a yard long.",
"The end of the beard was caught in a crevice of the tree, and the little fellow was jumping about like a dog tied to a rope, and did not know what to do. He glared at the girls with his fiery red eyes and cried, why do you stand there. Can you not come here and help me. What are you up to, little man, asked rose-red. You stupid, prying goose, answered the dwarf. I was going to split the tree to get a little wood for cooking. The little bit of food that we people get is immediately burnt up with heavy logs. We do not swallow so much as you coarse, greedy folk.",
"I had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished, but the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out, and the tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard, so now it is tight in and I cannot get away, and the silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How odious you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out, it was caught too fast. I will run and fetch someone, said Rose-Red. You senseless goose, snarled the dwarf. Why should you fetch someone. You are already two too many for me. Can you not think of something better. do not be impatient, said Snow-White, I will help you, and she pulled her scissors out of her pocket, and cut off the end of the beard.",
"As soon as the dwarf felt himself free he laid hold of a bag which lay amongst the roots of the tree, and which was full of gold, and lifted it up, grumbling to himself, uncouth people, to cut off a piece of my fine beard. Bad luck to you, and then he swung the bag upon his back, and went off without even once looking at the children. Some time afterwards snow-white and rose-red went to catch a dish of fish. As they came near the brook they saw something like a large grasshopper jumping towards the water, as if it were going to leap in. They ran to it and found it was the dwarf. Where are you going, said rose-red, you surely do not want to go into the water. I am not such a fool, cried the dwarf. Do not you see that the accursed fish wants to pull me in.",
"The little man had been sitting there fishing, and unluckily the wind had tangled up his beard with the fishing-line. A moment later a big fish made a bite and the feeble creature had not strength to pull it out. The fish kept the upper hand and pulled the dwarf towards him. He held on to all the reeds and rushes, but it was of little good, for he was forced to follow the movements of the fish, and was in urgent danger of being dragged into the water. The girls came just in time. They held him fast and tried to free his beard from the line, but all in vain, beard and line were entangled fast together. There was nothing to do but to bring out the scissors and cut the beard, whereby a small part of it was lost.",
"When the dwarf saw that he screamed out, is that civil, you toadstool, to disfigure a man's face. Was it not enough to clip off the end of my beard. Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let myself be seen by my people. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes. Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath upon which huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them.",
"It sank lower and lower, and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry. They ran up and saw with horror that the eagle had seized their old acquaintance the dwarf, and was going to carry him off. The children, full of pity, at once took tight hold of the little man, and pulled against the eagle so long that at last he let his booty go. As soon as the dwarf had recovered from his first fright he cried with his shrill voice, could you not have done it more carefully. You dragged at my brown coat so that it is all torn and full of holes, you clumsy creatures. Then he took up a sack full of precious stones, and slipped away again under the rock into his hole.",
"The girls, who by this time were used to his ingratitude, went on their way and did their business in the town. As they crossed the heath again on their way home they surprised the dwarf, who had emptied out his bag of precious stones in a clean spot, and had not thought that anyone would come there so late. The evening sun shone upon the brilliant stones. They glittered and sparkled with all colors so beautifully that the children stood still and stared at them. Why do you stand gaping there, cried the dwarf, and his ashen-gray face became copper-red with rage. He was still cursing when a loud growling was heard, and a black bear came trotting towards them out of the forest. The dwarf sprang up in a fright, but he could not reach his cave, for the bear was already close.",
"Then in the dread of his heart he cried, dear mr. Bear, spare me, I will give you all my treasures, look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Grant me my life. What do you want with such a slender little fellow as I. You would not feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two wicked girls, they are tender morsels for you, fat as young quails, for mercy's sake eat them. The bear took no heed of his words, but gave the wicked creature a single blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called to them, snow-white and rose-red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you. Then they recognised his voice and waited, and when he came up to them suddenly his bearskin fell off, and he stood there, a handsome man, clothed all in gold.",
"I am a king's son, he said, and I was bewitched by that wicked dwarf, who had stolen my treasures. I have had to run about the forest as a savage bear until I was freed by his death. Now he has got his well-deserved punishment. Snow-white was married to him, and rose-red to his brother, and they divided between them the great treasure which the dwarf had gathered together in his cave. The old mother lived peacefully and happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose-trees with her, and they stood before her window, and every year bore the most beautiful roses, white and red."

"speech_safe_text": "There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called snow-white, and the other rose-red. They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful as ever two children in the world were, only snow-white was more quiet and gentle than rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies, but snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her house-work, or read to her when there was nothing to do.\n\nThe two children were so fond of one another that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when snow-white said, we will not leave each other, rose-red answered, never so long as we live, and their mother would add, what one has she must share with the other. They often ran about the forest alone and gathered red berries, and no beasts did them any harm, but came close to them trustfully. The little hare would eat a cabbage-leaf out of their hands, the roe grazed by their side, the stag leapt merrily by them, and the birds sat still upon the boughs, and sang whatever they knew.\n\nNo mishap overtook them, if they had stayed too late in the forest, and night came on, they laid themselves down near one another upon the moss, and slept until morning came, and their mother knew this and did not worry on their account. Once when they had spent the night in the wood and the dawn had roused them, they saw a beautiful child in a shining white dress sitting near their bed. He got up and looked quite kindly at them, but said nothing and went away into the forest. And when they looked round they found that they had been sleeping quite close to a precipice, and would certainly have fallen into it in the darkness if they had gone only a few paces further.

"It sank lower and lower, and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry. They ran up and saw with horror that the eagle had seized their old acquaintance the dwarf, and was going to carry him off. The children, full of pity, at once took tight hold of the little man, and pulled against the eagle so long that at last he let his booty go. As soon as the dwarf had recovered from his first fright he cried with his shrill voice, could you not have done it more carefully. You dragged at my brown coat so that it is all torn and full of holes, you clumsy creatures. Then he took up a sack full of precious stones, and slipped away again under the rock into his hole.",
"The girls, who by this time were used to his ingratitude, went on their way and did their business in the town. As they crossed the heath again on their way home they surprised the dwarf, who had emptied out his bag of precious stones in a clean spot, and had not thought that anyone would come there so late. The evening sun shone upon the brilliant stones. They glittered and sparkled with all colors so beautifully that the children stood still and stared at them. Why do you stand gaping there, cried the dwarf, and his ashen-gray face became copper-red with rage. He was still cursing when a loud growling was heard, and a black bear came trotting towards them out of the forest. The dwarf sprang up in a fright, but he could not reach his cave, for the bear was already close.",
"Then in the dread of his heart he cried, dear mr. Bear, spare me, I will give you all my treasures, look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Grant me my life. What do you want with such a slender little fellow as I. You would not feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two wicked girls, they are tender morsels for you, fat as young quails, for mercy's sake eat them. The bear took no heed of his words, but gave the wicked creature a single blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called to them, snow-white and rose-red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you. Then they recognised his voice and waited, and when he came up to them suddenly his bearskin fell off, and he stood there, a handsome man, clothed all in gold.",
"I am a king's son, he said, and I was bewitched by that wicked dwarf, who had stolen my treasures. I have had to run about the forest as a savage bear until I was freed by his death. Now he has got his well-deserved punishment. Snow-white was married to him, and rose-red to his brother, and they divided between them the great treasure which the dwarf had gathered together in his cave. The old mother lived peacefully and happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose-trees with her, and they stood before her window, and every year bore the most beautiful roses, white and red."

"There was once a poor widow who lived in a lonely cottage. In front of the cottage was a garden wherein stood two rose-trees, one of which bore white and the other red roses. She had two children who were like the two rose-trees, and one was called snow-white, and the other rose-red. They were as good and happy, as busy and cheerful as ever two children in the world were, only snow-white was more quiet and gentle than rose-red. Rose-red liked better to run about in the meadows and fields seeking flowers and catching butterflies, but snow-white sat at home with her mother, and helped her with her house-work, or read to her when there was nothing to do.",
"The two children were so fond of one another that they always held each other by the hand when they went out together, and when snow-white said, we will not leave each other, rose-red answered, never so long as we live, and their mother would add, what one has she must share with the other. They often ran about the forest alone and gathered red berries, and no beasts did them any harm, but came close to them trustfully. The little hare would eat a cabbage-leaf out of their hands, the roe grazed by their side, the stag leapt merrily by them, and the birds sat still upon the boughs, and sang whatever they knew.",
"No mishap overtook them, if they had stayed too late in the forest, and night came on, they laid themselves down near one another upon the moss, and slept until morning came, and their mother knew this and did not worry on their account. Once when they had spent the night in the wood and the dawn had roused them, they saw a beautiful child in a shining white dress sitting near their bed. He got up and looked quite kindly at them, but said nothing and went away into the forest. And when they looked round they found that they had been sleeping quite close to a precipice, and would certainly have fallen into it in the darkness if they had gone only a few paces further. And their mother told them that it must have been the angel who watches over good children.",
"Snow-white and rose-red kept their mother's little cottage so neat that it was a pleasure to look inside it. In the summer rose-red took care of the house, and every morning laid a wreath of flowers by her mother's bed before she awoke, in which was a rose from each tree. In the winter snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the hob. The kettle was of brass and shone like gold, so brightly was it polished. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, go, snow-white, and bolt the door, and then they sat round the hearth, and the mother took her spectacles and read aloud out of a large book, and the two girls listened as they sat and spun. And close by them lay a lamb upon the floor, and behind them upon a perch sat a white dove with its head hidden beneath its wings.",
"One evening, as they were thus sitting comfortably together, someone knocked at the door as if he wished to be let in. The mother said, quick, rose-red, open the door, it must be a traveler who is seeking shelter. Rose-red went and pushed back the bolt, thinking that it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a bear that stretched his broad, black head within the door. Rose-red screamed and sprang back, the lamb bleated, the dove fluttered, and snow-white hid herself behind her mother's bed. But the bear began to speak and said, do not be afraid, I will do you no harm. I am half-frozen, and only want to warm myself a little beside you. Poor bear, said the mother, lie down by the fire, only take care that you do not burn your coat.",
"Then she cried, snow-white, rose-red, come out, the bear will do you no harm, he means well. So they both came out, and by-and-by the lamb and dove came nearer, and were not afraid of him. The bear said, here, children, knock the snow out of my coat a little. So they brought the broom and swept the bear's hide clean, and he stretched himself by the fire and growled contentedly and comfortably. It was not long before they grew quite at home, and played tricks with their clumsy guest. They tugged his hair with their hands, put their feet upon his back and rolled him about, or they took a hazel-switch and beat him, and when he growled they laughed.",
"But the bear took it all in good part, only when they were too rough he called out, leave me alive, children, snow-white, rose-red, will you beat your wooer dead. When it was bed-time, and the others went to bed, the mother said to the bear, you can lie there by the hearth, and then you will be safe from the cold and the bad weather. As soon as day dawned the two children let him out, and he trotted across the snow into the forest. Henceforth the bear came every evening at the same time, laid himself down by the hearth, and let the children amuse themselves with him as much as they liked. And they got so used to him that the doors were never fastened until their black friend had arrived.",
"When spring had come and all outside was green, the bear said one morning to snow-white, now I must go away, and cannot come back for the whole summer. Where are you going, then, dear bear, asked snow-white. I must go into the forest and guard my treasures from the wicked dwarfs. In the winter, when the earth is frozen hard, they are obliged to stay below and cannot work their way through, but now, when the sun has thawed and warmed the earth, they break through it, and come out to pry and steal. And what once gets into their hands, and in their caves, does not easily see daylight again.",
"Snow-white was quite sorry at his departure, and as she unbolted the door for him, and the bear was hurrying out, he caught against the bolt and a piece of his hairy coat was torn off, and it seemed to snow-white as if she had seen gold shining through it, but she was not sure about it. The bear ran away quickly, and was soon out of sight behind the trees. A short time afterwards the mother sent her children into the forest to get fire-wood. There they found a big tree which lay felled on the ground, and close by the trunk something was jumping backwards and forwards in the grass, but they could not make out what it was. When they came nearer they saw a dwarf with an old withered face and a snow-white beard a yard long.",
"The end of the beard was caught in a crevice of the tree, and the little fellow was jumping about like a dog tied to a rope, and did not know what to do. He glared at the girls with his fiery red eyes and cried, why do you stand there. Can you not come here and help me. What are you up to, little man, asked rose-red. You stupid, prying goose, answered the dwarf. I was going to split the tree to get a little wood for cooking. The little bit of food that we people get is immediately burnt up with heavy logs. We do not swallow so much as you coarse, greedy folk.",
"I had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished, but the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out, and the tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard, so now it is tight in and I cannot get away, and the silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How odious you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out, it was caught too fast. I will run and fetch someone, said Rose-Red. You senseless goose, snarled the dwarf. Why should you fetch someone. You are already two too many for me. Can you not think of something better. do not be impatient, said Snow-White, I will help you, and she pulled her scissors out of her pocket, and cut off the end of the beard.",
"As soon as the dwarf felt himself free he laid hold of a bag which lay amongst the roots of the tree, and which was full of gold, and lifted it up, grumbling to himself, uncouth people, to cut off a piece of my fine beard. Bad luck to you, and then he swung the bag upon his back, and went off without even once looking at the children. Some time afterwards snow-white and rose-red went to catch a dish of fish. As they came near the brook they saw something like a large grasshopper jumping towards the water, as if it were going to leap in. They ran to it and found it was the dwarf. Where are you going, said rose-red, you surely do not want to go into the water. I am not such a fool, cried the dwarf. Do not you see that the accursed fish wants to pull me in.",
"The little man had been sitting there fishing, and unluckily the wind had tangled up his beard with the fishing-line. A moment later a big fish made a bite and the feeble creature had not strength to pull it out. The fish kept the upper hand and pulled the dwarf towards him. He held on to all the reeds and rushes, but it was of little good, for he was forced to follow the movements of the fish, and was in urgent danger of being dragged into the water. The girls came just in time. They held him fast and tried to free his beard from the line, but all in vain, beard and line were entangled fast together. There was nothing to do but to bring out the scissors and cut the beard, whereby a small part of it was lost.",
"When the dwarf saw that he screamed out, is that civil, you toadstool, to disfigure a man's face. Was it not enough to clip off the end of my beard. Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let myself be seen by my people. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes. Then he took out a sack of pearls which lay in the rushes, and without another word he dragged it away and disappeared behind a stone. It happened that soon afterwards the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath upon which huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them.",
"It sank lower and lower, and at last settled near a rock not far away. Immediately they heard a loud, piteous cry.

"Once, there was a kind woman who lived in a small, quiet house. In front of her home, there was a lovely garden with two rose bushes. One bush had white flowers, and the other had red ones. She had two children who were just as sweet as the flowers. One was named Snow-White, and the other was Rose-Red. They were the happiest children you could imagine. Snow-White was very gentle and quiet, but Rose-Red was full of energy. Rose-Red loved to run outside and play in the fields, but Snow-White liked to stay inside and help her mother with chores or read her a story.",
"The two sisters loved each other very much. When they went out, they always held hands. Snow-White said, \"We will never leave each other.\" Rose-Red answered, \"Never, as long as we live.\" Their mother would say, \"What one has, she must share with the other.\" They often ran through the forest to pick red berries. The animals were not scared of them at all. A little hare would eat a leaf from their hands. A roe deer would eat grass right next to them. A deer would jump happily by their side. The birds would sit on the branches and sing their sweet songs.",
"Nothing bad happened to them. If they stayed too late in the forest, the night would come. They would lie down on the soft moss and sleep until morning. Their mother knew this and did not worry about them.\n\nOne morning, the sun woke them up. They saw a beautiful child in a shiny white dress sitting near their bed. He stood up and looked at them with a kind smile. He did not say a word. Then, he walked away into the forest.\n\nWhen they looked around, they saw they had been sleeping right next to a steep cliff. They would have fallen down in the dark if they had taken just a few more steps. Their mother told them that it must have been an angel watching over good children.",
"Snow-white and Rose-red kept their mother’s little cottage so tidy that it was a joy to look inside. In the summer, Rose-red took care of the house. Every morning, she laid a pretty wreath of flowers by her mother’s bed before she woke up. The wreath had a rose from every tree. In the winter, Snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the stove. The kettle was made of brass and shone like gold because it was so clean. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, \"Go, Snow-white, and lock the door.\" Then they sat by the warm fire. The mother put on her glasses and read aloud from a big book. The two girls listened quietly as they sat and spun. A little lamb lay on the floor near them, and a white dove sat on a perch behind them, hiding its head under its wings.",
"One evening, they were sitting so comfortably together when someone knocked at the door. It sounded like someone wanted to come inside. The mother said, \"Quick, Rose-Red, open the door. It must be a traveler who needs a warm place.\" Rose-Red went and pushed back the bolt. She thought it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a big, black bear. His head was very wide. Rose-Red screamed and jumped back. The little lamb bleated, the dove fluttered its wings, and Snow-White hid behind her mother's bed. But the bear spoke in a kind voice. He said, \"Do not be afraid. I will not hurt you. I am half-frozen, and I just want to warm myself by your fire.\" \"Poor bear,\" said the mother. \"Lie down by the fire, but please be careful not to burn your fur.",
"Then she called out, \"Snow-White, Rose-Red, come out! The bear won't hurt you. He is very nice.\" So the girls came out. Soon, the little lamb and the dove came close, and they were not afraid of the bear. The bear said, \"Here, children, please knock the snow out of my coat.\" So they brought a broom and swept the bear's fur clean. He lay down by the fire and purred happily. Soon, they felt very comfortable. They played funny games with their big, clumsy friend. They pulled his hair, put their feet on his back, and rolled him around. Sometimes they even used a small stick to tickle him, and when he growled, they just laughed.",
"But the bear was very kind. He did not get mad when they played too rough. He would just say, \"Please be gentle, children. Snow-White and Rose-Red, do not hurt your friend.\" When it was time for bed, the mother told the bear he could sleep by the warm fire. It was safe and cozy there. As soon as the sun came up, the children opened the door. The bear ran quickly into the snowy forest. From that day on, he came back every evening at the same time. He would lie down by the fire and let the children play with him. They loved him so much that they never locked the door until their big black friend arrived.",
"When spring arrived and everything outside turned green, the bear said one morning to Snow-White, \"I must go away now. I cannot come back for the whole summer.\"\n\n\"Where are you going, dear bear?\" asked Snow-White.\n\n\"I have to go into the deep forest to guard my treasures from the bad dwarfs,\" the bear explained. \"In the winter, when the ground is frozen hard, they are stuck below and cannot dig through. But now, the warm sun has melted the ice. They break through the ground and come out to steal things.\"\n\n\"And once they take something and hide it in their caves,\" the bear continued, \"it is very hard to ever see the light of day again.",
"Snow-White felt very sad when the bear left. As she opened the door for him, he ran out fast. He bumped the door and a bit of his fur came off. It looked like gold shining through the fur, but Snow-White was not sure. The bear ran away quickly and disappeared behind the trees.\n\nLater, their mother sent them to the forest to get firewood. They found a big tree lying on the ground. Nearby, something was jumping back and forth in the grass, but they could not see what it was. When they got closer, they saw a little dwarf. He had an old, wrinkled face and a long, white beard.",
"The end of his beard got stuck in a crack in the tree. The little man jumped around like a dog on a leash. He did not know what to do. He looked at the girls with his bright red eyes. He cried, \"Why do you stand there? Can you not come and help me? What are you doing, little man?\" asked Rose-Red. \"You silly, nosy goose,\" answered the dwarf. \"I was trying to split the tree to get some wood for cooking. The little food we get is burned up by big logs. We do not eat as much as you big, greedy people.",
"I had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished. But the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out. The tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard. Now it is tight in, and I cannot get away. The silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How annoying you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out.

Can you not think of something better?\" \"Do not be impatient,\" said Snow-White. \"I will help you.\" She pulled her scissors out of her pocket and cut off the end of the beard.",
"As soon as the dwarf felt free, he grabbed a bag full of gold that was hidden under the tree. He lifted it up and grumbled to himself about the rude children who had cut off his beard. \"Bad luck to you!\" he said. Then, he swung the bag onto his back and walked away without looking at the children at all.\n\nLater, Snow-White and Rose-Red went to the brook to catch some fish. When they got close, they saw something that looked like a big grasshopper jumping toward the water. It looked like it was going to jump right in! The girls ran over to help. They found it was the dwarf. \"Where are you going?\" asked Rose-Red. \"You surely don't want to go into the water.\" \"I am not a fool,\" cried the dwarf. \"Don't you see that the mean fish wants to pull me in?",
"The little man was sitting there fishing, but the wind had tangled his beard in the line. Suddenly, a big fish bit the hook. The poor dwarf was too weak to pull it out. The fish pulled him toward the water. He tried to hold onto the reeds, but he could not stop. The girls ran over just in time. They held him tight and tried to untangle his beard, but it was stuck fast. There was only one thing to do. They brought out the scissors and cut the line, saving a little bit of his beard.",
"When the dwarf saw what happened, he screamed out. \"Is that polite, you toadstool, to hurt a man's face? Was it not enough to cut off the end of my beard? Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let my people see me like this. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes.\" Then he took out a sack of pearls that lay in the rushes. Without another word, he dragged it away and disappeared behind a big stone. Soon afterwards, the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath where huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them.",
"It sank lower and lower, and finally settled near a rock not far away. Suddenly, they heard a sad, loud cry. They ran up and saw with worry that the eagle had grabbed their little friend the dwarf and was going to take him away. The children felt so sorry for him. They grabbed the little man and pulled hard against the eagle. At last, the bird let him go. The dwarf was safe. He was a little bit scared at first, but then he spoke in a sharp voice. \"You could have been more gentle,\" he said. \"You pulled my brown coat so hard that it is all torn and full of holes. You clumsy creatures.\" Then, he picked up a bag full of shiny stones and slipped back under the rock into his hole.",
"The girls were used to his bad behavior, so they went on with their day. When they walked back across the heath, they saw the dwarf. He had put his shiny stones on the ground and did not know anyone was coming. The sun made the stones shine very brightly. They looked like little stars. The children stopped to look at them. \"Why are you standing there?\" cried the dwarf. He looked very angry. Just then, a loud growl was heard. A big black bear came out of the trees. The dwarf was scared and tried to run, but the bear was too close.",
"Then he cried out with a scared heart, \"Please, Mr. Bear, spare me! I will give you all my treasures. Look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Please let me live. What do you want with such a small, thin fellow as me? You would not even feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two bad girls instead. They are soft and sweet, like little birds. Please, eat them!\"\n\nThe bear did not listen to him. He gave the bad man one big blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called out to them, \"Snow-White and Rose-Red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you.\"\n\nThey knew his voice and waited. When he came up to them, his bearskin suddenly fell off, and there stood a handsome man, dressed in beautiful gold.",
"I am a prince,\" he said. \"A bad dwarf put a spell on me. I had to run through the forest like a wild bear. But now he is gone, and he got what he deserved. Snow-White married me, and Rose-Red married my brother. We shared the big treasure the dwarf had hidden in his cave. The old mother lived happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose trees with her. They stood by her window and grew beautiful white and red flowers every single year."

They would have fallen down in the dark if they had taken just a few more steps. Their mother told them that it must have been an angel watching over good children.\n\nSnow-white and Rose-red kept their mother’s little cottage so tidy that it was a joy to look inside. In the summer, Rose-red took care of the house. Every morning, she laid a pretty wreath of flowers by her mother’s bed before she woke up. The wreath had a rose from every tree. In the winter, Snow-white lit the fire and hung the kettle on the stove. The kettle was made of brass and shone like gold because it was so clean. In the evening, when the snowflakes fell, the mother said, \"Go, Snow-white, and lock the door.\" Then they sat by the warm fire. The mother put on her glasses and read aloud from a big book. The two girls listened quietly as they sat and spun. A little lamb lay on the floor near them, and a white dove sat on a perch behind them, hiding its head under its wings.\n\nOne evening, they were sitting so comfortably together when someone knocked at the door. It sounded like someone wanted to come inside. The mother said, \"Quick, Rose-Red, open the door. It must be a traveler who needs a warm place.\" Rose-Red went and pushed back the bolt. She thought it was a poor man, but it was not. It was a big, black bear. His head was very wide. Rose-Red screamed and jumped back. The little lamb bleated, the dove fluttered its wings, and Snow-White hid behind her mother's bed. But the bear spoke in a kind voice. He said, \"Do not be afraid. I will not hurt you. I am half-frozen, and I just want to warm myself by your fire.\" \"Poor bear,\" said the mother. \"Lie down by the fire, but please be careful not to burn your fur.\n\nThen she called out, \"Snow-White, Rose-Red, come out! The bear won't hurt you. He is very nice.\" So the girls came out. Soon, the little lamb and the dove came close, and they were not afraid of the bear. The bear said, \"Here, children, please knock the snow out of my coat.\" So they brought a broom and swept the bear's fur clean. He lay down by the fire and purred happily. Soon, they felt very comfortable. They played funny games with their big, clumsy friend. They pulled his hair, put their feet on his back, and rolled him around. Sometimes they even used a small stick to tickle him, and when he growled, they just laughed.\n\nBut the bear was very kind. He did not get mad when they played too rough. He would just say, \"Please be gentle, children. Snow-White and Rose-Red, do not hurt your friend.\" When it was time for bed, the mother told the bear he could sleep by the warm fire. It was safe and cozy there. As soon as the sun came up, the children opened the door. The bear ran quickly into the snowy forest. From that day on, he came back every evening at the same time. He would lie down by the fire and let the children play with him. They loved him so much that they never locked the door until their big black friend arrived.\n\nWhen spring arrived and everything outside turned green, the bear said one morning to Snow-White, \"I must go away now. I cannot come back for the whole summer.\"\n\n\"Where are you going, dear bear?\" asked Snow-White.\n\n\"I have to go into the deep forest to guard my treasures from the bad dwarfs,\" the bear explained. \"In the winter, when the ground is frozen hard, they are stuck below and cannot dig through. But now, the warm sun has melted the ice. They break through the ground and come out to steal things.\"\n\n\"And once they take something and hide it in their caves,\" the bear continued, \"it is very hard to ever see the light of day again.\n\nSnow-White felt very sad when the bear left. As she opened the door for him, he ran out fast. He bumped the door and a bit of his fur came off. It looked like gold shining through the fur, but Snow-White was not sure. The bear ran away quickly and disappeared behind the trees.\n\nLater, their mother sent them to the forest to get firewood. They found a big tree lying on the ground. Nearby, something was jumping back and forth in the grass, but they could not see what it was. When they got closer, they saw a little dwarf. He had an old, wrinkled face and a long, white beard.\n\nThe end of his beard got stuck in a crack in the tree. The little man jumped around like a dog on a leash. He did not know what to do. He looked at the girls with his bright red eyes. He cried, \"Why do you stand there? Can you not come and help me? What are you doing, little man?\" asked Rose-Red. \"You silly, nosy goose,\" answered the dwarf. \"I was trying to split the tree to get some wood for cooking. The little food we get is burned up by big logs. We do not eat as much as you big, greedy people.\n\nI had just driven the wedge safely in, and everything was going as I wished. But the cursed wedge was too smooth and suddenly sprang out. The tree closed so quickly that I could not pull out my beautiful white beard. Now it is tight in, and I cannot get away. The silly, sleek, milk-faced things laugh. Ugh. How annoying you are. The children tried very hard, but they could not pull the beard out. It was caught too fast. \"I will run and fetch someone,\" said Rose-Red. \"You silly goose,\" snarled the dwarf. \"Why should you fetch someone? You are already two too many for me. Can you not think of something better?\" \"Do not be impatient,\" said Snow-White. \"I will help you.\" She pulled her scissors out of her pocket and cut off the end of the beard.\n\nAs soon as the dwarf felt free, he grabbed a bag full of gold that was hidden under the tree. He lifted it up and grumbled to himself about the rude children who had cut off his beard. \"Bad luck to you!\" he said. Then, he swung the bag onto his back and walked away without looking at the children at all.\n\nLater, Snow-White and Rose-Red went to the brook to catch some fish. When they got close, they saw something that looked like a big grasshopper jumping toward the water. It looked like it was going to jump right in! The girls ran over to help. They found it was the dwarf. \"Where are you going?\" asked Rose-Red. \"You surely don't want to go into the water.\" \"I am not a fool,\" cried the dwarf. \"Don't you see that the mean fish wants to pull me in?\n\nThe little man was sitting there fishing, but the wind had tangled his beard in the line. Suddenly, a big fish bit the hook. The poor dwarf was too weak to pull it out. The fish pulled him toward the water. He tried to hold onto the reeds, but he could not stop. The girls ran over just in time. They held him tight and tried to untangle his beard, but it was stuck fast. There was only one thing to do. They brought out the scissors and cut the line, saving a little bit of his beard.\n\nWhen the dwarf saw what happened, he screamed out. \"Is that polite, you toadstool, to hurt a man's face? Was it not enough to cut off the end of my beard? Now you have cut off the best part of it. I cannot let my people see me like this. I wish you had been made to run the soles off your shoes.\" Then he took out a sack of pearls that lay in the rushes. Without another word, he dragged it away and disappeared behind a big stone. Soon afterwards, the mother sent the two children to the town to buy needles and thread, and laces and ribbons. The road led them across a heath where huge pieces of rock lay strewn about. There they noticed a large bird hovering in the air, flying slowly round and round above them.\n\nIt sank lower and lower, and finally settled near a rock not far away. Suddenly, they heard a sad, loud cry. They ran up and saw with worry that the eagle had grabbed their little friend the dwarf and was going to take him away. The children felt so sorry for him. They grabbed the little man and pulled hard against the eagle. At last, the bird let him go. The dwarf was safe. He was a little bit scared at first, but then he spoke in a sharp voice. \"You could have been more gentle,\" he said. \"You pulled my brown coat so hard that it is all torn and full of holes. You clumsy creatures.\" Then, he picked up a bag full of shiny stones and slipped back under the rock into his hole.\n\nThe girls were used to his bad behavior, so they went on with their day. When they walked back across the heath, they saw the dwarf. He had put his shiny stones on the ground and did not know anyone was coming. The sun made the stones shine very brightly. They looked like little stars. The children stopped to look at them. \"Why are you standing there?\" cried the dwarf. He looked very angry. Just then, a loud growl was heard. A big black bear came out of the trees. The dwarf was scared and tried to run, but the bear was too close.\n\nThen he cried out with a scared heart, \"Please, Mr. Bear, spare me! I will give you all my treasures. Look, the beautiful jewels lying there. Please let me live. What do you want with such a small, thin fellow as me? You would not even feel me between your teeth. Come, take these two bad girls instead. They are soft and sweet, like little birds. Please, eat them!\"\n\nThe bear did not listen to him. He gave the bad man one big blow with his paw, and he did not move again. The girls had run away, but the bear called out to them, \"Snow-White and Rose-Red, do not be afraid. Wait, I will come with you.\"\n\nThey knew his voice and waited. When he came up to them, his bearskin suddenly fell off, and there stood a handsome man, dressed in beautiful gold.\n\nI am a prince,\" he said. \"A bad dwarf put a spell on me. I had to run through the forest like a wild bear. But now he is gone, and he got what he deserved. Snow-White married me, and Rose-Red married my brother. We shared the big treasure the dwarf had hidden in his cave. The old mother lived happily with her children for many years. She took the two rose trees with her. They stood by her window and grew beautiful white and red flowers every single year.",

"Once, there was a kind woman who lived in a small, quiet house. In front of her home, there was a lovely garden with two rose bushes. One bush had white flowers, and the other had red ones. She had two children who were just as sweet as the flowers. One was named Snow-White, and the other was Rose-Red. They were the happiest children you could imagine. Snow-White was very gentle and quiet, but Rose-Red was full of energy. Rose-Red loved to run outside and play in the fields, but Snow-White liked to stay inside and help her mother with chores or read her a story.",
"The two sisters loved each other very much. When they went out, they always held hands. Snow-White said, \"We will never leave each other.\" Rose-Red answered, \"Never, as long as we live.\" Their mother would say, \"What one has, she must share with the other.\" They often ran through the forest to pick red berries. The animals were not scared of them at all. A little hare would eat a leaf from their hands. A roe deer would eat grass right next to them. A deer would jump happily by their side. The birds would sit on the branches and sing their sweet songs.",
"Nothing bad happened to them. If they stayed too late in the forest, the night would come. They would lie down on the soft moss and sleep until morning. Their mother knew this and did not worry about them.\n\nOne morning, the sun woke them up. They saw a beautiful child in a shiny white dress sitting near their bed. He stood up and looked at them with a kind smile. He did not say a word. Then, he walked away into the forest.\n\nWhen they looked around, they saw they had been sleeping right next to a steep cliff.
