where to find Truth. – The kitten pattered.
- Wel , - Squirrel replied sedately. – Returning Vania’s mother her good
mood is worthwhile. And looking for Truth is a good idea as well. I’l help you.
Squirrel whistled as ever she could and the kitten even covered his ears
with his paws. The sound broke but nothing happened. The kitten began looking
around and squirrel kits ran to their mother to protect them. She hugged them all
and cuddled. And suddenly they heard heavy:
- Pooh, pooh, pooh…
The kitten also snuggled frightenedly against Squirrel, looking away the
side where the sound was coming. A minute after a bear cub stepped forward
from the trees. He was puffing heavily, trying to recover his breath from a fast run.
Slowing down he came to Squirrel.
- Good evening, aunt Squirrel! I heard you called me and came racing
along. – A bear cub sniffed.
Squirrel waved her paw to her kits and they darted away on a tree at once.
There they were sitting on a branch and observing the events happening down
with their enormous fluffy tails and pricked ears with funny golden tassels. One kit
was constantly eating nuts and was the plumpest one. The second couldn’t sit stil
even for a minute and was the slimmest and the most energetic. The third one
heard everything because he always had his ears pricked. And two other kits
always cuddled their mother in search of her warm and protection as they were
the youngest ones.
- You did everything right, little Potapych, - Squirrel replied to a bear cub.
– Lead him to Lesovichok-Borovichok.
- Alright, - a bear cub sniffed and moved his back up to the kitten. Murzik
