Water was not alive. Yet it moved. Also, it looked as solid as the earth, but was without any solidity at all. His conclusion was that things were not always what they appeared to be. The cub's fear of the unknown was an inherited distrust, and it had now been strengthened by experience. Thenceforth, in the nature of things, he would possess an abiding distrust of appearances.
And with these words they untied the string round the cub's neck, and turned its head toward the spot where the old foxes sat; and as the wounded foot was no longer painful, with one bound it dashed to its parents' side and licked them all over for joy, while they seemed to bow their thanks, looking toward the two friends.
The three boys gazed curiously at Cub's father and then at one another in a puzzled manner. "Haven't I given you enough hint?" asked Mr. Perry. "I don't want to do the work myself in fact, I couldn't if I wished to, for I can't send a wireless message; but if I could, I know exactly what I'd do."
He was careful to keep out of sight, however, and a short time later had the satisfaction of seeing them disappear in the woods, Mother Bruin in the lead and the cubs as usual trotting dutifully behind. The male cub's thrilling ride and battle with the current had for the time being subdued his adventurous spirit.
The girl shrugged her shoulders, blowing a little cloud of smoke into the cub's face, and her eyes had met Diana's slowly over his little yellow body. "One does not taste very much," she had said drily. And it was so with Diana. She had eaten mechanically everything that had been put before her, but she had tasted nothing.

But the morning proved to be a poor time for communication by radio for two reasons.
The lady moved a little, and the girl petted the other cub. The lioness looked on all the time. Then something still more wonderful happened. As the little girl was petting the cub, the lioness also began to lick the cub; then the lioness's tongue passed over the cub's body and came to the child's hand and the lioness began to lick the child's hand as if the child were her own.
And with these words they untied the string round the cub's neck, and turned its head toward the spot where the old foxes sat; and as the wounded foot was no longer painful, with one bound it dashed to its parents' side and licked them all over for joy, while they seemed to bow their thanks, looking toward the two friends.
"Look there! the old foxes have come back, out of fear for their cub's safety. Come, we will set it free!"
An impulse that smothered all fear, all caution swept over her with an urge that defied resistance; and dropping to the tangle of forest wreckage she bounded to the cub's side, seized him and clasping him in one arm sped back to the trees.
