Question

Describe the confrontation between Little Czar and Little Cyclone.

Answer 1

Title: Little Cyclone: The story of a grizzly bear
Author: William Temple Homaday
Characters: Little Cyclone and Little Czar
Theme: Storm before calm

Little Cyclone was a grizzly cub from Alaska. He earned his name by the vigour of his resistance to ill-treatment. Grizzlies are different. They are born full of courage and devoid of all sense of fears. The zoological society rescued him from the clutches of the captor and the violent people the society shipped him to the Bear’s Nursery at the New York zoological park.

He was a new comer to the nursery. Usually, a new comer would be scared and timid. But little cyclone was different. He challenged every fellow bear in the Nursery. Little czar was a European brown bear cub. He was saucy and good-natured.

He took Little Cyclone like any other new comer. He walked up to Cyclone with pride and over confidence. He thought that he could defeat cyclone easily. With all his strength and courage he aimed a sample blow at Cyclone’s left ear.

Cyclone reacted as quick as flash. He couldn’t wait even a second. He outshot Czar with his right paw. Only a grizzle could strike like that. It was too heavy to bear. It caught the little Cyclone’s right leg out shot czar on his head.

Czar had never expected this sort of hard and quick treatment for his attack. He was totally amused and confused. So he fled in wild haste. All of them understood that no one could fight against little Cyclone. From that time onwards Cyclone’s position was assured with great respect.

Fear tears the heart and brings out tears.
Courage endears the heart and brings out cheers.

The zoological society rescued him and took him to the Bear’s Nursery in New York. His fellow bears were ready to test his strength and courage. They thought that Cyclone would be scared and timid.

Little Cyclone was different. He had no fear but full of courage. He challenged the other bears to come and take from him as they wished. The fellow bears wanted to subdue him and his activities. But little Cyclone overcame everyone.

Little czar was a European brown bear cub. He was saucy and good-natured. He walked up and aimed a sample blow at the cyclone’s left ear. Cyclone outshot Czar on his head with his right paw. He was amazed and confused.

The highly anticipated encounter between Cyclone and Czar ended in a ‘tit for that’ manner. The reaction was heavier than the action. From that time onwards Cyclone’s status was assured. He was treated with respect by all. Being a fine-spirited, dignified little grizzly bear never attacked anyone nor had a fight anymore.
