THE LYING BEAR
Once upon a time there was a huge bear living on the outskirts of New York.
He was a harmless bear, that had grown up there so everybody knew him and he could hang around the place with no problem. His name was Kuba and he had lots of friends all over the city.
But the tourists didn’t know this and they used to run away when they saw him, and Kuba thought that was funny.
Kuba was a bit liar, and liked to make fun of people, Every time he saw tourists who were scared of him, Kuba used to roar making the visitors run away – “hahaha, I´m not going to hurt you, silly!”
aut one day a policeman saw him roaring at a tourist and, even though he knew he was harmless, he decided to arrest him for public disorder.
Kuba had learnt his lesson and never lied to another tourist again.
