He picked up his sack and hurried off into the forest.

“Such a rude and angry little man,” Snow White laughed. 

“We should have just left him there,” Red Rose grinned.

On their way home they found a handsome young man who seemed to be asleep. He had a great big bruise on his forehead.

The girls tried to gently wake him up.

He opened his eyes and looked at Red Rose.

“I must be dreaming; you look like an angel!” he cried. 

Red Rose blushed. “How did you get that nasty bruise on your head?”

“That rude old Elf put a spell on me and stole my gems!”

Just then their old friend the bear appeared. The girls ran up and gave him a great big hug. 

“Hello there,” he smiled at them and said, “Andrew, these are the kind sisters I told you about. They helped me and saved me from freezing last winter.”

“Thank you for helping my brother,” Andrew smiled at them. 

“Brother?” asked Red Rose.

Suddenly, the Elf appeared with his sack over his shoulder.

“Hand me back my gems at once!” Andrew jumped to his feet and pulled out a sword.
