In a solemn forest, one fine day
Where the trees and the flowers all sway
A young bear came out to play
Not knowing what fate had to say
1
With a keen eye and inquisitive mind
The bear explored all he could find
Stumbling on a rabbit, a fox, and a hind
His loneliness was far behind
2
The rabbit hopped, the fox cavorted
The hind danced, the bear exulted
A friendship was forged as they sported
Their bond only grew, this the fates recorded
3
The rabbit shared his carrots to eat
The fox showed him a trick, so neat
The hind taught him to be sweet
The bear learned to share and care, it was a treat
4
The bear then met his own kind
Who ridiculed him, their demeanour unkind
"Ganging with the prey, you're out of your mind!"
The bear's heart broke, he felt confined
5
But his friends were not far behind
Supporting him, they spoke their mind
"His friendship with us is cleverly designed
Together we are strong and intertwined!"
6
Slowly and steadily, it dawned on them
Their prejudice made them feel condemned
They saw the bear's bond, unblemished and stemmed
Now they, too, wanted to be friends, making amends
7
The bear was elated, his heart overjoyed
Seeing the forest, its creatures all employed
In harmonious friendship, nothing to avoid
A life of togetherness, each other's strength employed
For the bear had indeed taught, love always gets deployed.
