An apple cake

Long ago, when there were few people living on the earth, there was an old lady and old man. They never had any children and they wished for one child. But they were old and couldn't have children. They lived in a small house far away from other houses, almost in the forest. When the winter came they just sat in their little chamber.
How the woman can't give a child to her husband, she always does all posible to accommodate him. She used to do his favourite apple cake all Fridays.
One Friday, she started to bake the cake. He took the apples, the eggs, the sugar, apple marmalade...
When she finished the apple cake, she put it next to the window, on this way, the cake wouldn't burn to her husband.
A few minuts later, she started to heard small knocking and scratch under the window. When the old lady looked carefully , she discovered that there was a small bear, it was trying to take a piece of cake. The old lady, when saw the sweet face of the bear, she couldn't leave it there, she had to go out and took it to a small room. There, she gave a piece of cake to the bear.
A few minutes later, when he saw the bear there, he became very angry. Then, the lady explained to the man that, they could look after the bear the same way that they will do this if it were their child. So the man started to smile, and he has to recognize that it was a great idea.
As the time was passing, they were loving the bear more and more. Meanwhile, it grew and grew, and finally, it almost didn't enter in the house.
Finally, they decided to ask for help to the village. They alone couldn't do a house big enought for the bear, so this was the only solution that they had.
When they arrived to the village, the people looked rare to them, because they didn't used to go to the village. But finally, how the village was very friendly, they decided help the couple.
They passed almost one year working harder, but when the house was finished, was the most beautifull house that they never had looked.
Two days later, the bear moved there. It was very happy even, it has a very big fireplace, where it can be warm in Winter.
Later, the old lady on Fridays had to do a lot of cakes for her husband, the bear, and all the small bears that were like grandchildren for her.
