“The Bear and the Crabs”
Once upon a time, a Bear named Bernard lived in the forest. He was huge and would eat a lot of food. However, he was very lazy. So, he enjoyed eating the remains of the prey left by the bigger animals.
One day, the lazy Bernard felt very hungry. He could not find any food around his den. The poor Bernard waited and waited. Then, he started walking in search of food.
He thought to himself, ‘Oh! How I would love to eat some bamboo or fruits! But I would be the happiest if I found a beehive with honey!’
Now, at the end of the forest, there was a rocky shore along the big blue sea. Bernard soon reached the rocky shore. There, he found a firm rock and held on to it. He lowered his furry legs into the cold water and waited. Some Crabs that lived in the sea caught the Bear’s fur, thinking it was their prey.
Bernard, at once, pulled his legs up and shook off the Crabs on the rock. Then he enjoyed the food he had cleverly collected all over his legs.
Even the lazy think of good ideas, when they are hungry.
