Solution 1

Lesson: Little Cyclone: The story of a grizzly cub
Author: William Temple Homaday
Characters: Little cyclone, Little Czar, Black bear cub, captor, zoological society field agent
Theme: Avoid torture to any creature.

The appearance of Little Cyclone was a cub from Alaska in America. He earned his name by the vigor of his rggjgtance to ill-treatment. When his mother was fired he and his brother became orphans. When the captor tried to capture them they fought against the man fiercely. • He let one go and seized the other cub.

Little Cyclone was rescued by the zoological society and shipped to New York. He was at that time as the doll and roguish looking grizzly cub as ever stepped. He was in a grizzly gray full moon of fluffy hair. His two big black eyes sparkled like jet beads behind his nose. He had a pudgy little nose absurdly short for a bear. Exceptionally he had high shoulders. He was little more than a big bale of gray set up on four posts. But his claws were formidable. He had the true grizzly spirit.

When he was taken to the Bear’s Nursery at the New York Zoological parker, he was a new comer. When the box was opened he found himself free. He stalked deliberately to the center of the stage. He halted there and looked calmly about him.

His air and manners revealed his majestic and challenging appearance. Grizzlies are different. They are born full of courage and devoid of all sense of fear. The other bears in the Nursery understood that Little Cyclone’s position was assured. He was treated with respect.

He had a grizzly gray full moon of fluffy hair. His eyes were big and they sparkled like jet beads behind a pudgy nose. It was absurdly short for a bear. He was little more than a big bale of gray for set up on four posts of the same material. He had the true grizzly spirit.

He was a new comer at the Bear’s Nursery in the New. York zoological park. Every new comer would be badly scared during the first day and very timed the next day. But cyclone was different. He had no sense of fear.

When the box was opened he stalked deliberately to the centre stage, halted, and looked calmly about him. He told the other bears that he was from Alaska and anyone could come and take from him. He put everyone down in the attack. From then on his position was assured. He was treated with respect.
