“Think you can beat me, hahaha” the Elf laughed. “And you,” he pointed to the bear, “you like being a bear?”

“What’s going on?” Red Rose asked. She was very confused. 

“He stole our gems and turned my brother into a bear,” Andrew said. 

“Right, give back their gems at once,” Red Rose said sternly to the Elf.

“NEVER!” the Elf shouted, “beard power!”

He started growing higher and higher until he was eight feet tall and towered over them.

He started growing higher and higher until he was eight feet tall and towered over them.

“How dare you,” he squeaked out. “I’ll get you for this, just you wait.” And he ran off into the woods.

The bear suddenly turned into a young man with a big smile on his face.

“I am Gareth, a king’s son,” he said, “the Elf put a spell on me to steal my treasures. I had to live as a bear until you broke the spell by cutting off his beard. Thank you!”

Well, they all became the very best of friends and lived happily ever after.
