The Winter Bear's Secret

7 min 48 sec

In a snow hushed valley where the pines wore white caps and the moon shone like a polished coin, two sisters named Anya and Lina lived in a small stone cottage with a cherry red door.
Every winter night when the kettle sang and the fire crackled, a soft knock echoed outside.

Anya, the older sister with copper curls, would open the door to find a great brown bear standing on the mat, snow on his fur like sprinkled sugar.
Lina, the younger sister with braids like dark rope, brought out a wooden bowl of steaming oatmeal sweetened with maple syrup and dotted with fat raisins.

The bear ate politely, nodding his shaggy head in thanks, then stretched before the hearth until the logs glowed rose gold.
While he dozed, the girls knitted scarves, their needles clicking like tiny crickets, and told stories about stars that turned into fireflies in summer.

The bear listened with one ear twitching, and sometimes a low rumble of pleasure rose from his chest.
When the clock chimed nine, he rose, nuzzled each sister’s hand, and padded into the crystal night, leaving only a melted outline of paw prints.

One January evening, the wind howled so fiercely that the shutters rattled like bones.
The bear arrived later than usual, limping, his right forepaw swollen.

Anya warmed water while Lina tore her old blue petticoat into strips.
Together they bathed the paw, revealing a silver thorn twisted deep between the pads.

The bear’s brown eyes, usually gentle, brimmed with pain.
Anya whispered soft words as she grasped the thorn.

It slid out with a shimmer, and a single drop of blood fell onto the rug, glowing like a ruby.
At once the bear’s shape flickered, revealing for an instant a young man in a cloak of midnight blue embroidered with tiny gold stars.

The vision vanished so quickly that Lina thought she had imagined it, yet the bear now regarded them with deeper gratitude.
The next night the sisters waited, but the bear did not come, nor the night after.

Worry knitted their brows tighter than their scarves.
On the third night, a black-bearded dwarf no taller than a stool appeared instead, rapping the door with a cane of holly wood.

He demanded the silver thorn, claiming it belonged to him and that the bear was his prisoner until it was returned.
His eyes glinted like coal chips, and his breath smelled of sour apples.

Anya’s heart pounded, yet she spoke calmly, offering tea to buy time.
Lina slipped the thorn into a pouch of lavender and hid it beneath the flour jar.

The dwarf stamped, making the cups dance, and vowed to return at the next new moon.
If the thorn were not given back, the bear would remain a beast forever and the sisters would forget they had ever known him.

With a whirl of icy wind, he vanished, leaving frost ferns across the windows.
The sisters spent the following days searching the valley for clues.

They asked the postman, the baker, and the old woman who sold honey from twenty hives.
None knew where the dwarf’s dwelling lay, though the honey seller recalled a tale of an underground palace beneath the frozen waterfall.

At twilight, Anya and Lina packed bread, cheese, and a flask of rosehip tea, then followed the frozen stream that sang beneath the ice.
Stars pricked the sky like tiny candle flames.

Snow squeaked under their boots, and their breath made clouds that hurried ahead as if guiding them.
Near the waterfall, they found paw prints leading behind the curtain of icicles.

Heartbeats loud in their ears, they stepped through the crystal veil into a cavern lit by pale blue mushrooms.
The air smelled of cedar and something older, like forgotten stories.

There, chained to a pillar of stone, lay the bear, fur matted, eyes dull.
Between them and him stood the dwarf, counting silver coins into a heap.

He sang a grating rhyme about power, thorns, and hearts turned hard as stone.
The sisters stepped forward together, hands linked.

Anya spoke first, offering the dwarf a trade, not the thorn but her mother’s locket of gold.
Lina added her most treasured possession, a tiny music box that played one pure note.

The dwarf hesitated, eyes flicking between the treasures and the girls’ steady faces.
Greed softened into curiosity, then into something almost like shame.

He reached for the gifts, and as his fingers closed around them, the silver thorn in Lina’s pouch began to hum.
Light spilled out, wrapping around the dwarf like moonlight around a shadow.

The thorn dissolved into stardust, the chains fell away from the bear, and the dwarf shrank until he was no larger than a pinecone, his power broken by the mercy shown him.
The bear rose, towering yet gentle.

With a touch of his nose to the dwarf’s tiny form, he granted the creature a chance to grow kind again over long centuries.
The cavern brightened, ice turning to crystal that chimed like bells.

The bear led the sisters out into starlight, and as they stepped onto the snow, he shimmered and stood before them as a young prince, cloak swirling with remembered stars.
He explained that the dwarf had once served his royal father but had been twisted by envy.

The prince himself had been cursed to wander as a bear until freed by compassion that asked nothing in return.
He knelt in the snow, offering Anya and Lina a single acorn of light, promising that as long as friendship lived in their cottage, warmth would never leave their hearth.

The sisters accepted, not as payment but as a token of shared story.
Together they walked home, the prince carrying their lantern, his footprints beside theirs.

When they reached the cherry red door, he kissed each sister on the forehead, turning the touch into a snowflake that sparkled then melted, leaving only comfort behind.
He could not stay, for he had duties to restore kindness throughout distant lands, yet every winter hence, a bear shaped shadow would pass their window, pause, and vanish, leaving peace thick as wool.

Years later, children of the valley told of two grandmothers who always had oatmeal ready, a chair by the fire for any traveler, and scarves warm enough to thaw sorrow.
Anya and Lina smiled, remembering, and sometimes, when the snow fell thick as feathers, they heard a distant rumble of contentment drifting down the starry sky.

The cottage with the cherry red door became a haven where every guest left warmer than they arrived, carrying inside them the quiet certainty that kindness, once given, circles back like migrating birds.
And on the coldest nights, the sisters set out three bowls, just in case the bear, the prince, or some new friend might need a share of gentle porridge, sweetened with maple syrup and hope.
