Stubborn Bear

 written by: Meena Nazari

Once many animals were living together in a big jungle among them were honey bees too. The honey bees were always bringing out their hive from the hole of the tree and they were distributing honey to the animals of the jungle.

One day, when the bees were distributing honey to the animals, a bear also came. The monkeys gave some honey to the bear but the bear took the hive with herself and ran away.

The animal chased her and told her that all animals have the right to take a little honey from the hive but the bear did not accept. When the honey bees heard about the issue, they came out of the hive and asked the bear to share the honey with all animals but the bear entered into a dark cave.

The bear was used to grab all the honey from the beehive and finally, the bees had to leave the jungle.

The monkeys and other animals missed honey bees and they have no more honey to eat.

One day, the monkeys collected some bananas for their infants but the bear came and grabbed the bananas form them. The bear was always grabbing foods from other animals.

Once the bear became sick and she could not come out from his home for some days. He ate what she had collected at her home and there was nothing left to eat. She went out of her home and saw a dozen of bananas under a tree and she took them. A skinny monkey was in the banana’s tree and when she saw that the bear took her bananas, she came down from the tree and took the bananas from the bear and climbed back to the tree. The bear also climbed to the banana’s tree and start a quarrel with the monkey. The monkey pushed her from the tree. The bear was very weak and she injured her leg and became unconscious.

Meanwhile, the chief of the monkeys came and saw that the bear was unconscious. She sprinkled some water on her face and asked about her trouble. Bear said that she was very hungry and as she was sick, she could not find anything to eat.

The chief of the monkeys said that she would ask the skinny monkey to give her some bananas. The bear said that no one would help him because she was grabbing foods from them. The chief of the monkeys asked the skinny to give some bananas to the bear. The skinny gave her all the bananas that she had collected for her infants. The bear was very ashamed for her bad behavior and she apologized for what she had done.
