Rabbit and tiger

One day, the little rabbit went to the forest and planned to pick mushrooms for today's dinner. The mushrooms in the forest were very abundant, and the little rabbit was wondering whether to make a delicious fried mushroom or a delicious mushroom soup. Just when the rabbit's bamboo basket was about to be filled, suddenly a voice came from the other side of the forest.

"Ouch - ouch -"

The little rabbit thought, "Could it be someone who is injured in the forest, I have to hurry over to see. So he put down the bamboo basket in his hand and walked in the direction where the sound came from.

The painful moaning sound came closer and closer, and it turned out to be a tiger. The tiger's hind foot was wounded and bleeding, turning the nearby grass red. The little rabbit was afraid of the tiger and worried if he would catch himself and eat him. But the wounded tiger was so pitiful that the little rabbit mustered up the courage to go up and check the tiger's condition.

The little rabbit gently went to the tiger's body, touched his hand and asked, "Tiger, how are you?"

The tiger slowly opened his eyes, but because he was too weak, he could not speak yet. So the little rabbit took out the water bottle he carried with him and fed the tiger some water, then went to find some herbs nearby and treated the tiger's injured hind foot.

After a while, the tiger woke up and saw what the bunny had done for him and said "thank you". The bunny asked the tiger why he was injured. The tiger tried to stand up, but found that he did not have the strength to do so.

It turned out that the tiger had accidentally fallen into a trap set by a hunter in the forest. Although he escaped to his death, he was seriously injured and fainted before he got very far.

After recovering some strength, the tiger could barely stand up and walk, so he wanted to say goodbye to the bunny and go home. But the tiger's home was deep in the forest, far away from here. The little rabbit was worried that the tiger would faint again on the way, so he took the tiger back to the village and stayed in his house.

The village exploded. Everyone thought it was too dangerous to bring the tiger into the village, in case he recovered and wanted to eat meat to hurt the villagers.

The little rabbit explained to everyone: "The tiger was caught in the hunter's trap and was badly injured, it was too poor. And the tiger promised me that he would not hurt anyone in the village, so please believe him and let him heal in the village."

Everyone still did not agree and intended to take advantage of the tiger's injury to join forces to drive him out of the village. The little rabbit was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears, but the tiger decided to leave the village by himself in order not to bring more trouble to the little rabbit.

The tiger asked the bunny for some medicine and gauze, treated the wound, and was able to walk slowly by himself. Then he planned to say goodbye. The little rabbit was sad, but the tiger told him, "We will always be friends."

Time passed quickly, and it was winter. This year's winter was very cold and the snow kept falling, so no one could go out and the food prepared in advance for the winter was about to be finished. The little rabbit took advantage of the time when the snow was a little smaller, and left the village to enter the forest, trying to collect some food. But after a while, the snowstorm came, and the little rabbit only collected a little wild vegetables and mushrooms, and then froze.

When the little rabbit woke up, he found himself sleeping in a cave with a fire burning beside him, bringing light and warmth to the cave. The little rabbit also found his bamboo basket, which was filled with food. Who had saved him and collected so much food for him?

The little rabbit picked up the bamboo basket and left the cave, and found that it was not too far from the village, and he would soon be able to return home. As he walked, he suddenly heard the sound of a gunshot in the distance - it was the hunter! It seemed that the hunters also had to go out hunting in this weather due to the lack of food, and it would be bad if they found out! The little rabbit couldn't help but speed up his pace, he felt the hunters slowly approaching him, but he didn't dare to look back, he could only walk towards the village, hoping to get home sooner.

At this time, the sound of gunfire again, closer than the previous time. Then after a long time, I don't know what happened, the hunters seemed to have given up hunting, and there was another person following the little rabbit. But the little rabbit can feel that the person is not a dangerous person, although the other party refused to show themselves, but must be protecting themselves.

The little rabbit had just returned home to his village when the person following him lost sight of him. The little rabbit knew that it must be his good friend, the tiger. So he shouted in the direction of the forest, "Thank you, my friend!"
