That Will Teach You, Bear!
One beautiful day, Bear was out hunting. As he walked past a fallen tree, he heard a small voice shout, “Watch your feet!”
Bear looked down and saw Cricket (蟋蟀). “You almost destroyed my house,” Cricket said.
“I’ll walk wherever I want to,” Bear shouted as he showed off his size and strength.
Cricket shouted back, “But it’s my house, and I should protect it!”
This made Bear so furious that he said he would destroy the house, Cricket, and all of Cricket’s family. This made Cricket angry. “I have a friend who is only half my size, but he is strong enough to beat you in a fight.”
Bear laughed and said, “Go and get your friend, Cricket. I’ll return tomorrow, and we’ll see who can win in a fight.”
The next morning, Bear returned to Cricket’s house. “Come out, brave Cricket,” called Bear. Suddenly he felt a terrible ache on his back. He yelled, but Cricket’s friend Mosquito (蚊子) continued stinging (叮) until Bear yelled, “I give up!”
Just then Cricket appeared at the door of his house. Cricket told Bear to leave and never return. Bear quickly ran away.
