Grimm. (2012). "Snow-White and Rose-Red." Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales. New York: Fall River Press.
This fairytale is about a widow who had two rose trees (a red and a white) and two girls (Snow White and Rose-Red). Both daughters loved each other very much. They also loved nature so much that they befriended a bear and felt safe with nature. Once there was a dwarf who got into a few deadly situations (his beard got stuck and a bird caught him), and both times the two sisters saved him. However, the dwarf continued to yell at the two girls and be mean. One day, the bear came after the two girls and the dwarf, but the dwarf stepped out of the way and sacrificed the two girls even after they saved him twice. However, the bear was actually the bear that was the girls' friend, and he turned out to be the king's son. In the end, the bear transforms into the king's son, and he marries one of the daughters.
This fairytale could be used to teach gratitude. It could be read during Thanksgiving, and then a lesson on thankfulness could be taught.
