Lion And The Tigreess

"Hey there, Mr. Lion! Why are you stomping around my den?" whispered Mama Tigress. "I know you're looking for a silly wrestling match, but I am way too busy today. Look right here—I am taking care of my brand-new babies!"

She smiled proudly, looking down at her nest. "See how cute they are? I am sure no other tigress in the whole wide world has ever been blessed with such perfect little cuties. Shhh! Don't make a peep, the cubs are sleeping. If you really want to play-fight, you'll have to come back another day!"

Let Them Sleep

"Don't get it twisted," Mama Tigress whispered bravely, stepping between the lion and her den. "I'm not running away because I'm scared. I'm ready to protect my family anytime! But a loud, messy fight will have to wait until my cubs are big and strong."

She looked the big lion right in the eye. "I know you understand. If you have a problem with me, let’s just talk it out like grown-ups and solve it peacefully. But right now? You are disturbing nap time. So, please... get lost, Mr. Lion!"

The Lesson: A mother will always do whatever it takes to protect her babies from danger. Mama Tigress was smart and cautious, putting her cubs first and refusing to let the lion ruin their peaceful afternoon.

Realizing he couldn't provoke the brave mother, the lion sighed, turned around, and padded quietly back into the jungle. Nap time was saved!
