The Bear Woman

I am the Bear Woman my ears are furry, my face is part bear, part woman and in my soul there are wild apple orchard. One day, while walking in the mountains of Bolu, I saw a brown bear and was fascinated by it. That night, in my dream, the forest called me. When I looked in the mirror the next morning, I realized I had changed. When I got hungry, instead of looking for bread, I began searching for wild apples. In the forest I discovered an enchanted apple orchard. First I filled my stomach, then I began gathering apples to give to everyone around me who was hungry. Then, I started walking slowly through the orchard, turning and turning as if dancing. And with every step I took, the trees multiplied. Over time, hunger subsided, and hearts softened.
