A couple was walking in the forest when they heard a scream. When they got closer, they found a girl trapped in a bush. The girl looked very scared but the boy decided to save her. As he approached the bushes, he suddenly saw a furry bear. The boy was very afraid but he said calmly,"Don't worry, I'll save you." So the boy took out a dagger and stabbed at the bear.

When they finally stopped singing and dancing, the candle shadows disappeared.
