Tiger Cub And The Bear

The Smart Cub

“Dear son, we are going for our daily hunt. You be careful while playing. Sometimes a bear comes here. If you spot the bear somewhere here, don’t go near to him. He’s too dangerous,” warned the tiger cub’s parents.

“Yes, mom and dad. I will not go near the bear. Have a nice hunt. I love you,” said the tiger cub. His parents went hunting, leaving the tiger cub to play around.

“When I grow up, I too will go with my parents,” the cub thought. Suddenly he heard a noise. When he looked up, he saw a bear. The tiger cub got frightened.

The tiger cub went hiding behind a bush. He peeped out of the leaves and saw the bear standing there. Luckily, the bear didn’t see the cub. It was looking at a honeycomb that was hanging from a tree. The tiger cub watched the bear from its hiding place and soon fell asleep.

“Hey, son, where are you?” The tiger cub’s parents were frantically searching for their son everywhere. “I am here, mom and dad,’ the tiger cub got out from his hiding place. “Oh, you are here. We were worried about where you had gone. Why are you hiding in the bush?” asked his parents.

“It’s because I saw a bear. It was a big one, standing very close to me. Luckily, the bear didn’t see me. So, I went hiding without getting noticed by the big bear,” said the tiger cub.

“Smart boy, we love you,” the cub’s parents praised him for obeying their words.
