Cub's Courage
Faraway in the jungle of China, the crystal waterfalls and not far from the desert. The hunted was being hunted, kept in ever twining cycle. It happened that there was a mother tiger who not too long ago gave birth to a cub alone. She loved her cub more than herself and vow to protect him as she was a lone tigeress. And one day, the time came where the hunters came to her part of the jungle. She tried to chase them away but the more eager they became so she led them away from her den, miles away and exhausted she became, the hunters surrounded her and slay her. While this was happening, the cub waited night and day for his mother to come and take care but as hunger grew, he tried to look for her. Days went by and the cub cried in despair, an Alpha male chimpanzee and his companions came to see. Alpha said Here's some food little one. You have to be quiet, you must be that cub from the tigeress. I will teach you the ways of the jungle if you are willing so we all can survive. The cub replied But you are different and I can't climb. Alpha said, listen all the creatures of the jungle must stick together. We are the only hope of the jungle. I do as your fellow jungle creature and in exchange for your vow to take only what you need from the jungle and nothing more so it can thrive and survive for the future I do this. The cub agreed and Alpha taught him how to hunt and survive and he grew. When the hunters came to Alpha's part of the jungle, he prepared with all the animals, the cub became a full grown, sharp tooth and sharp tiger and he distracted the hunters. The cub along with the other creatures ran the hunters off breaking their weapons.

The Magnificent Tree
It was a time like no other, where food was scarce for every creature in Africa. Everyone questioned everyone, and creature alike distrust creature. There was a magnificent tree in the land that stood the test of time, home of the birds and bees. They both threaten each other and quarrel grew mostly in Springtime. The birds did not wanna share with the bees and dislike their ways. The bees felt the birds were controlling and someday may feast on them.The tree flourished and their quarrel became impossible. One day the bees dance around the tree's nectars and they declare the tree theirs. The birds caught off by surprise, tried to suppress them. Every morning the birds would sing to disturb the bees' humming. The birds and the bees both covered every flower they could marking them as territory. In unison to themselves both of them said, The tree is too big and great and magnificent.We have to feed our families. Life is too short to fear and what is an enemy, we aren't afraid we will endure them. And as it went on so long that some birds tried to make peace as well as some bees, these creatures band together creating a secret bond. And they rule together restoring order.

He would watched the skies days and nights searching them for answer to his curiosity with the instrument he invented. His wife said, Dear why do you long for the sky? Why do you look in it for answer? Is it good to not nourish for Fame and foolish pride. He said, wife of my life, wife of my youth. We have no child, no legacy and where should what we leave go to? Whom will remember us? His wife held her frustration and continue doing as before. He said to himself, There's got to be something out there. Several years of my life cannot be wasted.

I believe we can use the stars to guide us in peace or war saving lives.The soldier responded, you will serve and tell your secrets or both you and your wife will work in slavery.
