Later they returned and slept with their mother who was not alive. They became orphans. They fought terribly against the captor. He let one cub go and seized the other.

Luckily cyclone was rescued by the zoological society. The society shipped him to New York and then to the Bear’s Nursery there. When the box was opened, he found himself free in the Nursery. He stalked majestically to the centre of the stage. He halted and calmly looked about him. The other cubs wanted to test the courage and strength of the little cyclone.

Little czar, a European brown bear cub walked up and aimed a sample blow at cyclone’s left ear. Quick as a flash, little cyclone’s right leg out shot czar on his head. He was amazed and confused. So he fled in wild haste. Another fat black bear cub came and got a fierce attack and ignominiously quitted the field scrambling to the top of the cliff.

Little cyclone conscientiously met every real or feigned attack. In less than an hour, every bear in the Nursery understood that queer-looking gray fellow with board head and short nose could fight any other bear on three second’s notice.

Thus grizzly proved his air and manners by his actions. He showed them that grizzlies are different, unlike the other cubs, the grizzly was daring and challenging. He kept his position by giving everyone who came to him to get one from him. Grizzly gray cub was born full of courage and had no sense of any fear.
