The White Bear said: “Are you afraid?”
“No, that I am not,” said she.
“Keep tight hold of my fur, and then there is no danger,” said he.

You may have read a fairy tale called East of the Sun and West of the Moon in which the beautiful girl is sold by her father to a bear. During the course of rescuing her true love, she has many adventures. With the help of allies, including the North Wind, she triumphs using a combination of bravery, integrity and grit.
The bear is, of course, a handsome prince who has been bewitched.
We might do well to remember the message of this fairy tale and some of the other winter tales too — The Snow Queen and Snow White and Rose Red. Be true to your feelings for things are not always as bad as they seem — and sometimes you need to make friends with a bear.

So sorry for the inconvenience. I will send you a new password via email. That usually does the trick.
Unfortunately having the same problem here. So looking forward to finally reading the cancer scope when I’ve finally figured it out. Could I second the new password request?
