After a short rest, the princess and prince set off again. Far away from the witch's house, they walked in the forest, and at some point, the surroundings became dark, and the two began to look for a place to spend the night. Soon after, the two found a hut with an open door, overgrown with mushrooms, and what looked like it was about to collapse. The princess said to the prince, "It's a little broken, but it should be fine for one night." The two held hands tightly and walked to the hut. The hut was darker than the forest, and only a few vague shadows could be seen, and the princess stepped into the house to look at the ground. "Wow, they're all corpses!" What the princess, who has strong night vision, sees in the dark is a monster in the shape of a white bear that has fallen in the house.

"Hey, are they all corpses?" The prince repeated in amazement what the princess had said.

"It's just in time, it smells like it's just dead. I'm just hungry, so I'm going to eat them for dinner today. ”

"What!" The prince, who thought that the house was inhabited by humans, was stunned by the terrible thoughts of the princess, and the wolf opened his mouth to taste the carcass of the white bear. Just as the white bear was about to be overwhelmed by the wolf's sharp teeth, the white bear moaned weakly.

"Wait, princess, they're still alive!" The prince, who heard the voice, said to the wolf.

"Huh," the wolf shut his mouth unwillingly. "In this forest, it's only natural that the weak are eaten!" She muttered, looking at the prince with pity, and the prince seemed to treat them as human beings, so there was nothing he could do. The prince greets the bears and listens to them. "Princess, these people seem to be hungry and can't move, can we help them?"

The wolf, who wanted to get closer to the prince, could not refuse the prince's request, so the wolf and the prince searched for something to eat for the white bear. "I'm hungry myself!" The wolf thought to himself, "It's better to fill your belly first, otherwise you will have no strength for a while, where can you find food for the white bears, or if they are full and have the strength, they may murder themselves and the prince in the middle of the night."

It so happened that several rabbits hurried through the bushes beside them, and the wolf hurriedly let go of the prince's hand and turned into a wolf and chased after him like a black lightning bolt. It didn't take a dozen steps to catch up with the rabbit, and the huge claws sent forward, and one rabbit died under the paws. The wolf's speed did not decrease, and he grabbed the rabbit with his backhand and held it in his mouth, tilted his head to let the rabbit slide into his mouth, and continued to chase. When the second rabbit is successful, the rabbit is stuffed into its mouth, and the first rabbit has been chewed and swallowed by the wolf's fangs. In this way, while chasing and eating, the efficiency is extremely fast, and the wolf is chasing more and more energetic. The last rabbit burrowed into the hole at once, but he didn't want the wolf's claws to come, so he dug a hole in the ground and caught the rabbit that had just entered the hole.

After eating the rabbit, the wolf hurried back to where the prince was, and suddenly saw the source of the rabbit's escape—a terrible carnivorous creature called the "Butterfly" by those who had accidentally strayed into the heart of the forest and escaped. They have large butterfly-like wings similar to the color of the leaves, and a muscular, round, columnar body in the middle, and are called "hacking butterflies" mainly because they have a huge mouth about the size of their body at the front of their body, and inside are a circle of spiral-shaped sharp teeth, similar to a species called "cigar shark*" in the Pacific Ocean. It's just that this monster can fly, and its attack power is not low, just one is capable of preying on a squirrel-sized prey on its own, and they are always in groups of three or five. This time, it seemed that they saw the more fat and juicy prince, and temporarily changed their plans and flew towards the prince. However, despite its considerable attack power and flying speed, this animal is very stupid and does not know how to attack decisively or avoid danger. The most ridiculous thing is that their eyes can only notice moving objects, and the faster they move, the more they will be able to arouse their desire to attack. As a result, it is not uncommon to see a group of butterflies "besieging" a tree trunk that has been swept down by the current, or some other moving dead object. The butterflies chase after the animals by making them creepy and forcing them to flee. And now their target, the prince, could not see their terrible appearance at all, and stood still in place. So the butterflies also hesitated to flap their wings and hover in mid-air. Although the wolves were well acquainted with the habits of such superficial creatures, and often sacrificed their teeth, they could not help but raise their throats about the situation in which they besieged the prince.

Seeing the wolf running fast, the butterflies immediately gave up the motionless prince and rushed to the wolf, which was exactly in the wolf's arms. I saw her leap and stand firmly in front of the butterfly, the butterfly lost its target again, and was hovering in the air, and was immediately photographed by the wolf like a mosquito, the wolf dodged left and right, stirring the butterflies at a loss, but still surrounded by the wolf, the non-stop wolf attracted more butterflies to join the battle group, and finally all were fanned to death by the wolf on the ground. "Prince, I've brought enough meat." When the battle was over, the wolf turned back into a princess and took the prince's hand.

The princess and the prince returned to the white bear's hut with the meat, and the princess put the meat in front of the white bears and said proudly. "I've beaten a lot of meat, let's eat it!"

When the prince heard this, he immediately stopped the princess and said, "Wait, wait, princess, the meat hasn't been roasted over the fire yet, has it?" "The white bear is a monster, and of course he likes to eat raw meat the most, but the invisible prince still doesn't know it. If they told the prince that they were facing monsters, the prince would be very afraid, and if the prince asked her why she was not afraid of monsters, the fact that she was a monster might be exposed, and the princess had to listen to the prince's arrangement.

"Well, yes, it might be better to roast it over fire, but I haven't used a fire, can you teach me?" Childe cleverly fooled the past. The prince carefully taught how to light the fire, and took out the flint and steel and lantern he had brought with him to the princess. The princess, who was about to light the fire according to the prince's teaching, picked up the flint with trembling hands, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and made up her mind to wipe it violently.

"Oh, no, it's terrible!" As a wolf, he was afraid of fire no matter what, and the princess finally cried and asked the prince for help. It's because I can't see and I don't have the confidence to ignite the fire smoothly, but I was asked for help and trusted by the princess, so I happily accepted it.

"I see, then I'll try." The prince plucked up courage for the princess. The prince operated the flint and steel, which lit a lantern that was easy to ignite. and lit a bonfire with a lantern. With the help of the prince, the meat was cooked well, and the white bears were delighted and ate it in large gulps. "The grilled meat is surprisingly delicious!" "Thank you so much for being saved!" "yes, almost starved to death!" The White Bear family thanked the princess and prince one after another.

"That's good, by the way, can you let us stay here for one night?" The wolf unceremoniously went straight to the point.

"Of course, you can stay in our house today, even though it's a dirty place full of mushrooms." The white bears cheerfully received the two. Gave up a place that could barely be called a bed to the prince and princess.

The long day was coming to an end, and night was falling, for the prince had slept peacefully after the journey, but the wolves who had been active in the night had not yet become sleepy. The wolf who couldn't sleep wandered outside the hut, and the white bear was chasing the little rabbit, and the rabbit ran around with agility, but the white bear finally couldn't catch it. "Ah, Miss Wolf, it's so hard to hunt, it only took you a while to bring us so much meat to eat, and it's still delicious butter butterfly meat, it's amazing!" The white bear innocently praises the wolf's abilities. "Can you teach me the art of hunting?"

"Ah, first of all, you have to look at the target, you have to move quickly, you have to pay attention to timing, the most important thing is to be fast, you see you are so fat...... In fact, if I was as thin as I was, there should be nothing. The wolf hurriedly responded with prevarication, wondering if the prince had heard the other party call him a wolf, and wanted to end the conversation quickly. Speaking of which, are the humans you brought with you your emergency food? Faced with the white bear's abrupt response, the wolf couldn't help but shudder.

"What a good idea, in case we starve to death, we also have to study hard with Miss Wolf. But we should choose a fatter human, so thin humans, there is no taste at all, not enough to stuff the teeth. ”

For monsters, eating humans is a matter of course, and this kind of conversation is no more natural among monsters, and the wolf also thought it was a very ordinary thing before he started to travel with the prince, but now the wolf is very scared when he hears the white bear say this.

"Nope! No, the prince is not emergency food! The wolf did not hesitate to deny the white bear's speculation and saw the wolf's attitude. The white bear seems to have discovered something.

"What? Is it possible, is it possible that you want to be friends with humans? Hearing what the white bear said, the wolf didn't say anything and fell silent.

"Humans and monsters can't be friends!" The wolf, who was told by the white bear, opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't say anything.

"You've probably heard a lot, monsters accidentally eat people, humans betray monsters and the like...... wolf lowered his head and listened, and the white bear continued: "It's impossible for people to have good results in their interactions with monsters, but wolf, you are the benefactor of our family, we can support you, please come on!" After saying that, the white bear walked slowly back to the hut.

The wolf curled up on his bed, ready to sleep, and the words that the white bear had just said to him echoed in his mind. In the face of the joy of holding the prince's hand, there is nothing that can frighten him. But his true form is a monster that the prince hates, and it is his own thing that hurts the prince's eyes, and he has been hiding it from the prince, and if it is revealed, everything will be over. The wolf involuntarily covered his mouth again

"As long as you don't find out," the wolf comforted himself. "Yes, yes, as long as you don't find out." As a result, the wolf did not sleep all night.

Early the next morning, the white bears saw off the princess and the prince who were about to go to the witch's forest at the door of their homes, and the family expressed their gratitude and said some words of blessing peace. "Come on, be careful not to get eaten." A seemingly simple sentence, the perceptive princess heard the voiceover. "I won't eat it!" In order to resist the endless uneasiness in his heart, the company took the prince's hand and walked into the forest.
