"Youch!"
The boy jumped up from the ground and quickly covered his head, afraid of the next hit of the stick/
"What was taht for!?" He was so angry and surprised that he bit his tongue, looking up at the woman in front of him - still holding the cause of his pain.
"You know very well what it was for." Answered the woman calmly. "You know that its forbidden to leave the village during the day. It's dangerous."
"No it's not!" Argued the boy.
"You know very well that it is, don't you Cencric?" She pointed thestick in her hand, still warrily(?) observed by Cencric, before leaning on it. "Or do I need to remind you? Hmm?" Her blonde eyebrow rose as she asked this question.
"No... I know..." Cencric
"Then disappear before I grab you by the neck, kid"
----------------------------------------
"And where did you come from?" The old lady, sitting by the back door of the house looked at Cencric surprised.
"I... Um..." Cencric stuttered, not wanting to admit to breaking the rule.
"Well, nevermind that." Said the lady. "Would you mind keeping me a company? It gets quite boring sitting here alone like that."
"Un" Nodded the boy as he sat down beside the woman.
For a while only the occasional sounds of some animals fighting in the distance could be heard.
"Would you like me to tell you a story?" Asked the granny.
"A story!?" The boy's green eyes practically shone like two lanterns on road at night.
"Haha... Yes a story." Laughed(?) the lady.
"Yess!" Shouted the boy.
"Okay then." She corrected herself on the bench and started telling Cencric the story.
"Once upon a time, in an ancient forest lived a bear mom and a bear child, both big, brown and fluffy."
This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author's consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.
"Fluffy!" Shouted a little girl, one of many children that suddenly appeared when the old lady started telling the story.
"Yes." The lady smiled. "Both were very fluffy and very kind bears."
"The pair lived a slow, happy bear life for a long time before a little bird told them 'Momma bear! Momma bear! There is a human in the woods!'. At these words momma bear became very worried as she knew that humans rarely came this deep into the forest.
Worried for her child's safety she took it to their house and told it 'You mustn't come out okay?'.
The little bear, proud to be a good little bear confidently answered that he wont leave the house.
Several days passed and the little bird kept bringing the news. - 'Human was near the lake! Human was near the clearing!' he spoke.
As time passed momma bear became more and more worried as the man was slowly coming closer towards their home and shee neded to leave from time to time so as to bring the little bear some food.
One such time, when momma bear was out to find food, the little bear- bored of sitting for days in their small home decided that it would take a look outside and wait there for it's mom. 'I wont leave the house. The garden is till the house.' It justified itself.
Sadly it came at the worst moment possible.
After leaving ther cozy little home, the bear almost immedietly saw a monkey and the manke saw the little bear.
But what a monkey it was!
It was bald! And part of it had lizard skin on it!
At the sight of such an intresting creature the little bear was confused as it didn't know what it was.
The monkey - or rather human - thought to himself 'That's a young bear! No more then 2 months!' then another thought entered his mind: 'People in town would pay in gold for such a cub! I need to capture it!'
As he thought, he did. Within moments he came close to the confused cub and tied it up - both paws and mouth (Forgot the name for animals) before leaving with it.
Shortly after, the little bird, flying through the woods saw the tragic scene of the hunter and his trophy - the little bound bear.
The birdie, not caring about anything immedietly flew off in search of mother bear.
Upon hearing the news, mom bear was shocked, sad and angry.
She decided that she need to go save the cub, so after getting the directions from the little bird she left to recover her baby treasure.
A day passed and she reached the forest outskirts. Now she needed to find her kid and although it seemed to lucky, she quickly saw the human described by the little bird.
Enraged mother rushed straight at him.
The hunter not expecting the mother bear to appear was shocked but didn't hesitate.
He drew his bow and shot. And again. and agian.
The three arrows all hit mother bear, one in the forehead, one in the front paw and the last one - deadly in the eye.
Afterwards the story of the hunter killing the bear in three shots - saving the village spread out far and wide while the hunter sold the cub to the rich gaining both fame and gold." She finished.
For a while, there was only silence.
"Humans are awfull" Said one kid.
""Yeah."" ""They are"" Said other children.
"Now go back, but remember - one bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch." Cautioned grandma. "You should be carefull but don't jump to conclusions. I wouldn't like for any of you to become like the hunter okay?"
"""Yeess!""" Said the children and left - Cenric with them. It was about the time for dinner.
