Stoic Fable Book for Kids 28

Listen to the Narration:

A black bear cub had discovered a clever new trick for catching fish, and he brought his siblings to the creek to teach them. Soon Grandfather Bear, who was very old, joined them there and sat to watch.

“I heard you have a new trick for catching fish,” Grandfather Bear said. “Would you mind teaching me, as well?”

“You want me to teach you?” said the surprised cub. “I thought you already knew everything.”

Grandfather Bear laughed. “Of course not,” he said. “As long as you live, you should keep learning how to live.”
