In the blog yesterday, we talked of the small ones. In the animal world, however, there is a small one or two whom we are not exactly friendly with, right? An example or two may suffice. The small one of a cobra, or for that matter, of any snake, is not exactly a friend, right?
Once in the backyard, in a box I had kept for broken glasses, there was one, though i did not initially recognize it as such. I even tried to remove it with bare hands. The very next minute, it was like the description of the 'kundalini' in the 'Dnyaneshwari'. Of course, I did not tell Aai of this close encounter of the worst kind. Otherwise, she would have worried to no end.
Similarly, despite their jet jade eyes, unlike the beautiful blue of the lion cubs, and the lovely stripe patterns, unlike the pale golden hue of the lion cubs, the small ones of the tiger appear dangerous. Instead of frolicking, they seem to be fuming and frowning.
Yet in the deep woods of the ice-clad Russia, it is always the tiger cub and the wounded tiger/tigress who befriend a kind man who tries to save the tiger/tigress, who when in danger her/himself , gets/gives the cub to the saviour.
On the YouTube abound many such videos which always end with a happy reunion of the long lost friends as the cub, when he grows in to a majestic tiger, is released in the jungle whence he reconnects with the benefactor whom he instinctively recognises. Hope this holds true. Well, I love happy endings!
Pratima@The bestest animal as friend is, of course, the one and only doggie. Most often, these four legged furry friends are better, more loyal, more loving than human beings, and are always absolutely genuine.
