The Sad Bear

Deep in a quiet forest, where the bushes whispered with the wind and the sun barely touched the ground, there lived a big brown bear named Suhail. He looked sturdy and robust, however interior, his heart become soft as tender as the petals of spring flora.
Suhail lived by myself in a small wooden cabin under the tall pines. No one visited him, and he by no means visited absolutely everyone. To the animals of the wooded area, he appeared quiet… and continually a touch sad.
Every morning, Suhail could take a seat via the lake, staring into the nevertheless water. Not to recognize himself, but to recall.
Years in the past, Suhail had a first-class buddy a clever little fox named Kareem. They have been inseparable. They performed, fished, and shared berries every day. Suhail laughed greater in the ones days than he ever had in his lifestyles.
But one wintry weather got here early. Kareem fell unwell. Suhail tried everything warm leaves, sweet honey, sitting via his facet night after night time. But not anything may want to prevent the cold, and one silent December night time… Kareem turned into gone.
From that day on, Suhail changed. He stopped laughing. He stopped making a song. He slightly ate. The forest missed his deep voice and sort eyes.
One night, an vintage owl, who had been watching Suhail from afar, fluttered down beside him and stated softly:
“Suhail, everything in the woodland has changed… except your unhappiness. Why not try smiling again?”
Suhail replied in a worn-out voice:
Because smiling with out Kareem feels… empty. He took my laughter with him.”
The owl gave a mild smile.
“But he didn’t take your coronary heart. He didn’t take the memories. You still have those. Maybe it’s time to keep in mind him with love, not pain.”
That night, Suhail stayed conscious wondering. The next morning, he did something he hadn’t performed in years he walked deep into the woodland. He accumulated wild berries, much like he used to with Kareem, and sat at the very spot in which they once played.
He spoke softly:
“Do you keep in mind, Kareem? We used to snort here till our bellies hurt. You continually ran faster than me… but you by no means left me behind.”
Then, for the primary time in years, Suhail smiled.
From that day on, Suhail commenced to return returned to life. He told young animals tales about Kareem. He sang antique songs. He taught them a way to fish and where to locate the juiciest berries.
His coronary heart nevertheless held unhappiness but it was now mixed with warm temperature. The forest not saw a unhappy endure, but a wise endure who had once loved deeply… and still did.
