92. THE PRINCE AND THE BEAR

Once a prince went to a jungle to hunt for animals. He wandered the whole day in search of prey but to his sheer disappointment and disgust he didn’t get a single animal, big or small. He became tired and sat under a tree to take rest. Just then he saw a tiger coming towards him. The prince got frightened and scrambled up a tree. There he saw a bear already sitting on a branch. The prince got badly terrified because, up there in the tree was sitting a bear and down on the ground was the tiger. The prince began to tremble with fear. But the bear said to the prince, “Don’t worry, my dear prince, I’ll not harm you, you’re my guest.'” The prince believed in what the bear said. But, the tiger was still waiting for him on the ground.
