In the midst of tranquility, a mother tiger paced restlessly, her watchful eyes scanning the horizon for any indication of danger. She had left her cubs in a cave and set out to hunt for food, but an uneasiness lingered within her. She knew that a sloth bear had been lurking near the cave, and if it discovered her cubs, it would surely devour them. She decided to postpone her search for food and make her way back to the cave, her heart pounding with fear. What if she was too late? What if the bear had already found her cubs?

As she approached the cave, her fears were allayed, and she gathered her cubs to find a new home, one that would keep her family safe. However, the only option was to cross a river, and she knew that this was a dangerous undertaking. She left her cubs on the shore and ventured into the water, searching for a safe route across. Her ears perked up for any telltale splash of a crocodile, as she found a secure path and returned to retrieve her cubs one at a time, starting with the most vulnerable one, in her mouth.

Every step was a gamble, but she persevered, knowing that one wrong move would mean the end for her cubs. Finally, she emerged on the other side, her cubs safely in tow. However, as she looked back at the shore, she realized that one of her cubs was missing. It dawned on her that the worst had happened; one of her cubs had been taken by the crocodiles. This served as a reminder that even the mightiest of animals can be brought down by the forces of nature. The pain of losing a loved one is an enduring one that never fades away completely.
