New Short Story for Kids written by: Camila.
Once upon a time…
There was a beautiful tiger girl who liked walking around the jungle.
One day, she was playing with her friend the owl,she moved away, and between games and games lost the trail of her way back home.
The owl looked for her scared, but could not find her. Meanwhile the little tiger girl was running and running from one site to the other trying to find the way back.
Her friend was desperate, so asked for help to other animals from the jungle. They had not found her yet at nightfall, when danger was near.
The defenseless and scared little tiger girl searched for a refuge inside a dark cave, without suspecting the danger that was awaiting her.
When she tried to lie down to rest after her sad day, heard a ferocious roar behind her: ran away desperate from that place, because a bear had noticed her presence and wanted to attack her.
Walked under the moon light, until found another place to rest. It was a tree trunk that a storm had probably destroyed. There, she could lie down and think about what was she going to do the next day.
While she was trying to sleep, heard a voice coming from the tree branches, saying:
- “Don´t be afraid, little tiger, tomorrow morning is near and you will be able to find the way home”.
The tiger said: “Thanks, but…who are you?”
- “I am an old and tired owl, who knows every centimeter of this jungle”.
- “Really? do you know the jungle? Will you help me to find my mother and my friend?
- “Who is your friend?” – she asked.
- “An owl, you might know him”.
- “Maybe, let´s wait until the morning, rest a bit while arrives, you need it”.
When the morning arrived, the owl woke up the little tiger girl and said:
- “I have news for you”.
- “What news?” – she asked.
- “Your friend is looking for you with other animals of the jungle, they are really worried about you, I will bring them here”.
- “Thank you, thank you!!!” – exclaimed the little tiger girl.
Behind the tree branches where she had slept that night, her friend the owl and other animals appeared, happy of finding her. They were guided by the old owl to the little tiger´s house.
From that moment, the old owl went every afternoon to visit her friend, they all played together and had so much fun.
Years passed, the little tiger became a gorgeous tiger, never forgot the kind gesture that the old owl had with her, and her lovely friend the owl, who looked for her incessantly until found her.
