Title: Little Cyclone: The story of a grizzly cub
Author: William Temple Homaday
Characters: Little Cyclone and his brother
Theme: Unity is strength. Fear kills even heroes.

The grizzly cub was famous for its courage and vigour of its resistance to ill-treatment. Once when the mother was fired at the cub and its brother ran away. When they were found sleeping with the mother grasped by the captor, the next morning. Both the cubs fought against the captor. One of the cubs made a fight so fierce and terrible. The captor could not stand and let the cub go.

Though the other cub fought desperately the captor seized him and carried him away. He was established with collar, chain, and post in the rear of the saloon. The public irritated the little grizzly cub with a long pole. Before he could become insane, he was rescued by the zoological society’s field agent. He was shipped to New York and later sent to the Bear’s Nursery at the New York zoological park.

He had every chance to prove his courage there. He was a daring new comer in the Nursery. He conscientiously met every attack genuine or feigned that was made upon him. In less than an hour, every bear understood his vigour and strength. From that time on cyclone’s position was assured and all respected him. Grizzlies dare any bear without fear. They are different. They are born full of courage and devoid of all sense of fear.
