00:00Once upon a time, in a quiet village surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dense pine forests, there lived a kind and beautiful girl named Alera. Her hair flowed like golden sunlight, and her eyes sparkled with kindness. But it wasn't just her looks that made her special, it was her heart.
00:20She cared for every creature, no matter how big or small. One winter, a terrible storm swept through the mountains. The snow piled high, and food became scarce. Villagers stayed indoors, their fires burning low. Alera, however, still ventured out each morning to check on the forest animals.
00:42She left breadcrumbs and bits of dried fruit near the trees. One morning, while walking through the deep snow, Alera heard a soft whimper coming from the woods.
00:53She followed the sound and discovered a massive brown bear, curled up beneath a tree. Its fur was matted with ice, and it looked weak and cold.
01:03Alera should have run. Anyone else would have. But something in the bear's eyes, something gentle, made her step closer.
01:12You're hurt, she whispered, kneeling beside it. The bear didn't growl or moo. It simply blinked slowly, as if asking for help.
01:22Day after day, Alera returned, bringing fish and berries she had saved. She melted snow over a fire and gently washed the bear's wounds. Slowly, the bear grew stronger, and a quiet bond formed between them.
01:38Spring came, and with it, the forest began to bloom again. One morning, Alera woke to find the bear waiting outside her cottage. It stood tall, stronger than ever, and gave a soft rumble, its way of saying thank you.
01:54That day, the bear walked beside her to the edge of the village. Some villagers were frightened at first, but when they saw how calmly the bear sat beside Alera, their fear melted into awe.
02:06The bear soon returned to the wild, but it was never far. Whenever Alera walked through the woods, it would appear like a silent guardian, watching from the trees. And from that day on, stories were told about the beautiful girl whose kindness tamed the heart of a wild bear.
