Dave and Shiva were chilling on the weekend, watching a movie. Both were zoo keepers, and they loved animals. Suddenly they heard a sound of wood cracking. They quickly went towards the sound, and to their astonishment, they saw a bear breaking their back door. It was not furious, but it had a worried expression. It came running near Dave, after breaking the door successfully. It caught Dave’s leg gently. He understood that something was amiss. By this time Shiva joined and they patted the bear. Then the bear started to walk towards the forest. It glared once again, indicating them to follow it. The bear led them deep inside the forest. The men found the entire wildlife lined up. There was a faint cry. The men found an injured lion in a pit, with its leg caught in a snare trap. “Those cruel poachers! They did this to the poor lion,” cried Shiva. The men immediately got to work. They first calmed the lion down with a tranquilizer, and then started to remove the trap carefully. The lion was very weak and hung its mane down. They healed the injured leg with a special medicine. Then all the animals were happy, and their eyes sparkled. Dave and Shiva felt awesome when they returned home.
The next day they found so many flowers at their doorstep, as a mark of gratitude from the animals.
