Walking in the woods was a grizzly bear
He found himself alone in a new part of the forest
He had no idea where to go
His family of bears sent him to go find honey
And so there he was exploring
Looking for honey so he can go home and feed them
The bear quickly got lost and was afraid
Of the new scary environment he found himself in
Suddenly, he saw a small white cat walk past
The bear was startled and growled at the cat
The cat remain unfazed and meows softly back
The cat noticed the bear was lost
The cat noticed the bear was looking for honey
The cat was more familiar with the forest
So the bear allowed for the cat to jump on his back
And guide him to the honey he needed
As they explored the forest
They both realized they had a lot in common
They both loved to eat fish
They both loved to scratch their backs on trees
They spent a lot of time together in the forest
The bear realized that the cat was afraid of the forest
The cat was afraid of the elk and deers
And of the wolves that lurked in the forest
The bear noticed and wanted to protect the cat
The cat was tiny and fragile
The bear showed no fear around the cat
The bear didn't want the cat to worry
The bear scared off the wolves
And fought off the hunters
That wanted to make mittens of the cat
And they ended up becoming close
They kept journeying through the forest
Suddenly, they encountered a jaguar in the woods
The jaguar wanted to join them in their journey
The bear was apprehensive but the cat was not
The cat and the jaguar started eating fish together
The cat and the jaguar used the trees as back scratchers
The cat rode on the jaguar's back instead of the bear
The bear missed the feeling of the cat being on his back
The bear also missed fishing with the cat
The bear also missed sharing trees with the cat
The jaguar also took the role as protector
The jaguar fended off wolves and hunters
Better than the bear ever could
The bear would only scare them off
The bear didn't want to hurt them
The jaguar didn't mind eating the hunters and the wolves
The bear became sad that the cat wouldn't meow at him
The cat would meow at the jaguar
They understood each other better
Better than the bear ever could
The bear felt lonely even though the bear wasn't alone
The bear and the jaguar would fight over fish
The bear and the jaguar would fight over territory
And finally, the bear and the jaguar would fight over the cat
They fought over the role as protector over the cat
One day, the cat accidentally scratched the bear
The bear was hurt by this
The bear ran out of the cave and into the wilderness
Away from the cat and the jaguar
The bear found himself alone again
The bear still needed to find his honey
The jaguar found his role as protector of the cat
And the cat found a warm back to ride on for the winter
It started to rain and the bear raced into a cave
To find a cave filled with honey
The bear was excited
He grabbed all the honey he can carry
He ran back to the warm embrace of his pack
The pack congratulated him with kisses and hugs
In the back of the bear's head, the bear still thought
About the furry feline friend the bear met in the woods
The bear stood atop of a boulder
And let out the biggest growl
The bear heard a loud meow in response
Coming from the woods
The bear knew that the cat was safe with the jaguar
The bear walked away to a new home with his pack
While the cat and the jaguar walked to new horizons
Away from each other but never forgetting the time
