NOTES:

[1] The original of this story is the common English nursery tale, "The Three Bears and Little Silver Hair."

[2] This is one of the most popular of the Bohemian folk stories. It has been translated into many languages, and an elaborate version of it can be found in Laboulaye's "Fairy Book."

[3] The story of the "Moss Rose" has been developed from the following beautiful lines by Krummacher:—

"Weary of pleasure,
And laden with treasure,
The Angel of flowers
Had wandered for hours;
When he sunk to his rest
With his wings on his breast.
And the rose of the glade
Lent her beautiful shade,
To guard and to cover
The flower king's slumber.
When the Angel awoke,
Then in rapture he spoke:
"Thou queen of my bowers,
Thou fairest of flowers,
What gift shall be mine,
And what guerdon be thine?"

"In guerdon of duty
Bestow some new beauty,"
She said, and then smiled,
Like a mischievous child.
In anger he started,
But ere he departed,
To rebuke the vain flower,
In the pride of her power,
He flung some rude moss
Her fair bosom across.
But her new robes of green
So became the fair queen,
That the Angel of flowers
Mistrusted his powers,
And was heard to declare
He had granted her prayer.

[4] Another version of this story can be found in "Les Contes de Fées de Charles Perrault," where it is entitled "Les Souhaits Ridicules."

[5] A Russian folk story. The cat is considered a foreigner who has just arrived from Siberia, while the fox, the bear, and the wolf are quite at home in the forest.
