1. Describe the appearance of Little Cyclone.
Answer:
Lesson: Little Cyclone: The story of a grizzly cub
Author: William Temple Hornaday
Characters: Little cyclone, Little Czar, Black bear cub, captor, zoological society field agent
Theme: Avoid torture to any creature

The appearance of Little Cyclone was a cub from Alaska in America. He earned his name by the vigour of his rggjgtance to ill treatment. When his mother was fired he and his brother became orphans. When the captor tried to capture them they fought against the man fiercely. • He let one to go and seized the other cub.

Little Cyclone was rescued by the zoological society and shipped to New York. He was at that time as doll and roguish looking grizzly cub as ever stepped. He was in a grizzly gray full moon of fluffy hair. His two big black eyes sparkled like jet beads behind his nose. He had a pudgy little nose absurdly short for a bear. Exceptionally he had high shoulders. He was little more than a big bale of gray set up on four posts. But his claws were formidable. He had the true grizzly spirit.

When he was taken to the Bear’s Nursery at the New York Zoological parker, he was a new comer. When the box was opened he found himself free. He stalked deliberately to the centre of the stage. He halted there and looked calmly about him.

His air and manners revealed his majestic and challenging appearance. Grizzlies are different. They are born full of courage and devoid of all sense of fear. The other bears in the Nursery understood that Little Cyclone’s position was assured. He was treated with respect.

2. What does the fight Little Cyclone and his brother put up, tell you about the nature of grizzly bears?
Answer:
Grizzly bears are bom full of courage and devoid of all sense of fear. Little cyclone is a grizzly cub from Alaska. He earned his name by the vigour of his resistance to ill-treatment. When his mother was fired at, on a timbered hillside, he and his brother ran away as fast as their short and thick legs could carry them. When they came back, they thought their mother was sleeping. They cuddled up close against her warm body and slept peacefully until morning.

They were awakened by the rough grasp of human hands. Bravely, they bit scratched and cried aloud with anger. His brother made a fight so fierce and terrible that his nervous captor let him go. Although Little Cyclone fought just as desperately, his captor seized him by his hind legs, dragged him backwards and bound him. This fight of the grizzly bears proves their strength and grit. They do not wish to be cowed down or dominated by their opponents.

3. “If any of you fellows think there is anything coming to you from me, come and take (t”. How did Little Cyclone prove this?
Answer:
Title: Little Cyclone: The story of a gizzle cub.
Author: William Temple Homaday
Characters: Little Cyclone, his brother, Little Czar, and other bear cubs
Theme: A brave fears no evil

Little cyclone was a grizzly cub from Alaska who earned his name by the vigour of his resistance to ill-treatment. When his mother was fired at he and his brother ran away. Later they returned and slept with their mother who was not alive. They became orphans. They fought terribly against the captor. He let one cub go and seized the other.

Luckily cyclone was rescued by the zoological society. The society shipped him to New York and then to the Bear’s Nursery there. When the box was opened, he found himself free in the Nursery. He stalked majestically to the centre of the stage. He halted and calmly looked about him. The other cubs wanted to test the courage and strength of the little cyclone.

Little czar, a European brown bear cub walked up and aimed a sample blow at cyclone’s left ear. Quick as a flash, little cyclone’s right leg outshot czar on his head. He was amazed and confused. So he fled in wild haste. Another fat black bear cub came and got a fierce attack and ignominiously quitted the field scrambling to the top of the cliff.

Little cyclone conscientiously met every real or feigned attack. In less than an hour, every bear in the Nursery understood that queer-looking gray fellow with board head and short nose could fight any other bear on three second’s notice.

Thus grizzly proved his air and manners by his actions. He showed them that grizzlies are different, unlike the other cubs, grizzly was daring and challenging. He kept his position by giving everyone who came to him to get one from him. Grizzly gray cub was born full of courage and had no sense of any fear.

“To grizzly, any other hear is silly”

4. Describe the confrontation between Little Czar and Little Cyclone.
Answer:
Little Czar was a very cheeky and impertinent bear. But it was a good-natured European brown bear. He walked to Little Cyclone and aimed a sample blow at Cyclone’s left ear. Quick as a flash, outshot Cyclone’s right paw, as only a grizzly can strike and caught the would-be hazer on the side of the head. Amazed and confused, Czar fled in wild haste. Next Cyclone also attacked a black bear cub, who made a pass at the newcomer and made him to quit the field.

Little Cyclone carefully and meticulously met every attack, real or faked, that was made upon him. All the bears in the Nursery understood that Little Cyclone can fight any other bear on three seconds’ notice. He could also strike anyone hard and quickly.
