Summary:
In a den on a barren hill, a polar bear gives birth to a cub—but the newborn dies at birth. In a hut a little further away, a woman gives birth to a strong, healthy boy. The polar bear is so saddened by the loss of her cub that she collapses on the ice and dies. So her mate steals the woman's baby and brings him to the ice. The boy grows up with the bear, learning everything a bear needs to know: an easy thing for a boy. This is the beginning of a beautiful fairy tale, where the spirit of the hills helps those who really want to become someone.
