Info that may help
- I was born in 1992 so is must be at least 20+ years old.
- It has an animated version in a collection of stories on VHS (tape) along with others such as Puss in boots, The boy who cried wolf and more.
- I believe the moral of this story was to teach following rules and consequences.
Name
- I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the collection of stories or the individual one.. sorry! I could only guess and yours would is as good as mine.
Description
- There were 2 bears that were very curious about an area that was far away that was forbidden by the mother bear to enter. It appeared to be a magical place and everything inside was perfect. The bears went there one day and contemplated entering – in the end they did. Once they disobeyed the mother and entered, though, they were stuck there forever and could never return home.
The only thing I know that even comes close is “I Wanna Play House”, an old Warners cartoon from 1936 about two naughty little bears who discover a wheeled caravan or camper in the woods. They sneak inside, eat the food and start to create havoc until the caravan begins to roll downhill and gets wrecked. After that, their mom finds them and spanks them.
It’s not impossible that someone adapted this for a story. Several of the old Warners cartoons were based on children’s stories. I doubt this is it, but hope this helps.
I found this in Worldcat:
