Once upon a time there was a poor peasant with so many children that he couldn't take care of them all. The youngest daughter was the prettiest and loveliness of all. 

 

One night a giant white bear was outside of their cottage, promising if the man gave him his youngest daughter, he would make him rich. The girl said no, but she was still forced to go with the bear. 

 

The bear and her left, and went to the castle that the bear lived in. The girl broke the rules though, looking upon the bear while he was in the form of a prince. Because she broke the rules, the prince will now have to go live with his stepmom, and have to marry a hideous princess. 

 

The princess made her way to save the prince, and he fell in love with her. Soon they fled far away from the castle to go and live happily ever after.
