This is a re-telling of the Norwegian fairy tale, with a twist or two.
Once upon a time, there was a simple poor peasant but he was very handsome and had won the hand of the strongest woman in the country, Olga. She was strong of body, strong of mind and strong of character. She had given him many children and they were all above average, handsome and strong in different ways.
The youngest was the prettiest and the strongest, a true inheritance of the best in both her mother and her father. A smile from Ruth, for that was her name, could brighten the darkest of days and her laughter made their poverty seem like a blessing, for Ruth shone all the brighter for the darkness around. Ruth smiled the brightest at the scant meal set before her and laughed the loudest as she made a game out of mending the clothes that were no better than rags.
One day, on a Thursday evening late in the fall, the weather grew wild and rough outside. Darkness had come early and the rain was falling slantwise. The wind blew so that the walls of the cottage shook. The big family sat around the cheerful fire in the small house and busied themselves with this and that, trying not to listen to the thunder outside or notice the flashes of lightning and the rain that beat against the windowpane. Ruth told a story to distract her brothers and sisters.
‘And then the ice queen said…’
Suddenly, three sharp taps sounded on the window. The group fell silent. Surely something had been knocked against the window. Perhaps it had begun to hail? But no, the sound came again… three sharp taps. The peasant pulled on his overcoat and hat then went out to see what was the matter. Outside, his eyes grew wide as he took in the great white bear that stood as tall as he, even though it was on all four paws. He thought of running back to the door but knew that no matter how large and ungainly the bear might seem, he could not outrun him.
‘Good evening, my apologies if I have interrupted your evening meal,’ said the white bear genteelly.
‘And to you, but you interrupt no meal,’ said the peasant, bobbing his head.
‘Surely this is the dinner hour?’ asked the bear diffidently.
‘It is.’ The peasant nodded nervously. ‘But there was little for dinner and it was over long ago.’
‘Ah, yes. It is said that this is a poor household that houses the brightest gem in the country. I have a proposal for you that would lessen your burden. Will you give me your youngest daughter? If you will, I’ll make you as rich as you are now poor,’ said the bear. ‘And your daughter will live in the lap of luxury.’
The peasant considered the request carefully. Truly, the family was in a sorry state. Winter was coming and they would not make it through under the current conditions. Sacrifice one family member to this bear or certainly lose all of them to hunger? But could any of them bear to lose Ruth? She would have to go willingly in order for this to happen. None of them would force her.
‘I must consult with my family in this matter,’ the old man said, bowing to the bear.
‘Of course,’ the bear replied.
The man went inside and the entire family looked up at him with a question in their eyes. He sat down heavily and looked at his youngest daughter. She had just turned eighteen. Really, a child no more.
‘There is a great white bear waiting outside, who has given his word to make us all very rich if he can only have… Ruth.’
A chorus of ‘No!’ went around the room. All except Ruth spoke. Her father looked to her for her answer.
She walked to her father and knelt before him, putting her cheek on his knee as she had so often done before. ‘Tell me truly, papa, will we make it through this winter without the money from this bear?’
The man had it in his mind to lie. He did not want his daughter to go but as she gazed up at him, he found he could not hide the truth from her. ‘No, my daughter, we would surely all perish.’
‘Very well, then, I accept. But please ask him for a week to make myself ready.’
With a heavy heart, her father went outside and fixed it with the bear. He would come again the following Thursday. That week, Ruth washed and mended her rags, and made herself as ready as she could. Soon she was prepared for the trip, for she didn’t have much to take along.
