The Bear and the Wildcat

The story is about a bear who could not accept the idea of parting—parting from the bird, his close friend. He kept it in a box and carried it with him wherever he went. But suddenly, after he met the cat and the cat played the violin for him, he decided to bury his departed friend. The cat, too, had lost a close friend, but life did not stop with that loss; it became the reason he decided to play music to bring people joy. The cat took from his worn-out box the frame drum that had belonged to his friend, gave it to the bear, and suggested they travel together to play for others.
