The White Bear and the Brown Bear



Горнакова Илария. 8 лет. The White Bear and the Brown Bear. LOW.

Snowy is a little polar bear cub. He lives in the northern Arctic with his family. Mummy bear, Daddy bear and Snowy can see ice and snow everywhere every day. They like swimming from ice floe to ice floe and digging holes in snow banks.
One day Snowy says, "I'm tired of this ice and snow. I'm going to live where I can see something quite different."
"But your home is here! Look!
The snowflakes are dancing in the air! They are so beautiful! Listen to the snow! It's humming a very funny song, "scoosh-scoosh, scoosh-scoosh", his mother tells him.
"Nothing can stop me", answers Snowy. "I'm packing my things and ...

… leaving my home in the morning.
Mishutka is a little brown bear cub who leaves in the forest
One day Mishutka asks his mother, ‘What is winter? I have never seen winter. Bears always sleep in winter.’
‘It is cold and windy. There is much snow everywhere’ answered his mother.
I want to see something quite different.”
‘But your home is here! There are a lot of beautiful flowers here. Listen! The birds are singing their beautiful songs. The sun is shining. You can eat berries and mushrooms. You will be the Master of the forest when you grow’, his mother tells him.
“Nothing can stop me”, answers Mishutka.
Mishutka, a little brown bear cub leaves his home in the forest and goes to the northern sea. Snowy goes to the southern lands on an ice- floe. They meet near the seashore. Snowy asks:
- You, Brown Bear! What are you doing here in my land?

Mishutka answers:
- Your place is in the sea. The ice - floe is your land!
Snowy rears up. Mishutka rears up too. They begin to fight. They keep fighting till evening. At last they sat silently to have a rest.
‘We are brothers, aren’t we?’ said Snowy
Mishutka said:
- That’s right! Let’s be friends! We are brothers. We mustn’t quarrel about anything. We have large lands. I have nothing to do on your icy- field.
Snowy said:
- As for me, I have nothing to do in your forest. I haven’t ever been there. Let’s live on our lands without disturbing each other.
Mishutka stayed in the forest. Snowy stayed on the seashore.
Since that time the Brown Bear has been the Master of the forest, the White Bear has been the Master of the Sea. They never disturb each other.
