Mashenka got lost in the forest and ended up at the bear's house. And the bear rejoiced: there would be a hostess in the house, she would light the stove, cook porridge, and feed him, the clumsy one. The bear wouldn't let the girl go home, no matter how much she begged. But clever Mashenka soon figured out how to outsmart the bear and return to her grandparents!
