But as the polar bear was deciding which one to eat first, the little brown bird fluttered over to the fire and started to flap his wings at the last ember in the gray ashes.

The bird fluttered and flapped, trying to bring the ember back to life. The bird moved closer to the ember, waving air at it. The bird stood right over the ember and flapped his wings as fast as he could.

And gradually, as the bird fanned the air at the ashes, the ember turned from dull red to bright orange. The bird flapped and flapped, and the ember flickered.

The little bird stayed there as the ember got hotter and hotter, his wings flapping and flapping until the ember burst back into life.

The bird staggered backward as the flames brushed his feathers.

The father and son both took deep breaths of warm air; they sighed and they rolled over.

And the polar bear realized he wasn’t going to get his supper from behind the ice wall. So he limped away, his paws blackened from the fire he had tried to put out.

The little brown bird flew slowly back to his low bush on the snowy hill.

The father and son woke up safe the next morning and returned to their village, never knowing the danger they had been in nor the kindness and bravery that had saved them.

So that is why polar bears are white all over, except for the black skin on their paws.

And that is why we all know a little brown bird with a bright red breast, which is still glowing with the heat of the fire he fanned back to life.
