Arctic tale



Иноземцева Полина. 12 лет. Arctic tale. 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 the house!»
«Little silly bear! Look! What a beauty around us! This iceberg is like a wing of a bird. That iceberg is like a tusk of a walrus. Those icebergs are like floating ships that take people here», Mummy bear tells her son.
«I will go there where these real ships come from», Snowy says dreamily.
«Here the sea smells like fish and fish smells like the sea. It is the most pleasant smell», Mummy bear takes a deep breath.
« The most tasty food is here», Mummy bear says licking her lips. «You will not find it anywhere!»
«I would like something different», Snowy was very stubborn.
Daddy bear decides to help Mummy bear. Не says «My little one! The polar day is going over. The long polar night is coming.
It is the extreme time. Stern winds are blowing everywhere. The polar night saves no one.
Who leans out of the lair prickly snow gets into the eyes, the nose and wool.
But the most terrible thing is that ice-fields are cracking. Who fall in the crack never comes out.
At this time bears are sitting in their snow dens where old bears are telling the bear cubs the tale about Star Polar Mummy Bear,
Star Polar Daughter Bear and Polar Star. You can see them in the dark starry sky. On the tip of the Star Polar Daughter Bear's tail is bright Polar Star. Polar Star doesn’t move. Polar Mummy Bear goes round her daughter».

«I want to listen to this story. Tell me, please», Snowy asks.
Daddy bear takes the baby on his knees and begins to tell a story.
«Once upon a time, long long ago Star Polar Bears did not live in the sky.
They lived on the Earth. Polar Daughter Bear was noisy and naughty.
One Polar night Daughter Bear leaned out of the lair and fell in a large ice crack.
The ice clutched baby's tail. The little polar bear couldn't come out. It was in a trap. It began to cry. Mummy Bear rushed to her baby to help. But she could not release the baby from the trap.
Since then Polar Mummy Bear is going round Star Polar Daughter Bear but can't help it.
This is a very sad story. Let's wait for the end of the polar night, in order not to get in troubles.
We’ll travel together as soon as you grow up».
