Cougar is the mightiest of the animals in the forest.
Cougar was walking in the forest, and he jumped onto a fallen log to look around. From inside the log came a tiny voice.
"Get off the roof of my lodge!" Out from the rotten end of the log came a tiny Cricket. "You are standing on the roof of my lodge, Cougar," said the little insect. "You must step off now, or the roof-pole will break and my lodge will fall in."
"Who are you to tell me what to do?" asked Cougar sternly, although he did step off the log. He lowered his head until his nose was very close to Cricket. "In this forest, I am the chief of the animals!"
"Chief or no Chief," said Cricket bravely, "I have a cousin who is mightier than you, and he would avenge me."
I don't believe you, little insect," snarled Cougar.
"Believe me or believe me not," said Cricket. "it is so."
