Queen of the Jungle
Chapter 4 – Wild Instincts
“It’s so hot out here! We got to find some water!” grue, crane griped, as he walked slower and slower along the jungle path. “Don’t be a baby, Crane! toi can survive without water for three days.” replied Tigress, as she continued to look ahead for the suivant landmark. “Come on, Tigress.” grue, crane continued, “We’ve been walking all jour and found nothing.” Meanwhile, Monkey swung from arbre to arbre above them. “I have to agree with grue, crane on this one. We need water, and I don’t see any source anywhere nearby.” “Guys, we’re almost there.” tigresse assured them. grue, crane sighed. “You a dit that an heure ago.” he whined. Suddenly, the trio came upon a clearing, and before tigresse could answer, the suivant landmark stood before them.
The new landmark was a statue in the shape of an unusual symbol, which none of the three recognized. “This is it?!” exclaimed Crane, “We came all the way out here for this?!” “What is this supposed to mean?!” Monkey continued, “It looks somebody messed up on this eye and covered with all kinds of various materials.” tigresse examined the statue carefully, and came to a conclusion. “This might be a symbol for a deity ou some other icone for the ancient civilization here.” she stated, “Who knows who ou what this was supposed to mean. We shouldn’t guess what it is. Instead, we should admire the artistry that made this piece come to life.” “Admire it?!” grue, crane shouted, “It looks like these people just put aléatoire objects into a statue. Why should we admire it?!” tigresse yelled right back.
“Because it symbolizes their ancient way of life.”
“Yeah! It symbolizes the fact that they were a strange people.”
“How could toi say that?!”
“Look at the facts. They picked the worst place to live, made the strangest statue in history, and probably used up all the water here!”
“You can judge a book par its cover!”
“I think I can judge these people just fine!”
As the two yelled at each other back and forth, Monkey became increasingly annoyed. “Would toi guys stop this?! You’re arguing over something stupid!” he shouted. grue, crane and tigresse looked at each other and calmed down. “I’m sorry Tigress.” grue, crane said, “I shouldn’t have yelled at toi like that.” “It’s all right, Crane. I got carried away there.” she replied. “Good.” Monkey said, in relief, “Why don’t we do some plus training exercises?” “Sounds good to me.” replied Crane. tigresse nodded in agreement. “So, Monkey, what do toi have in mind?” grue, crane asked. “Oh… you’ll see!” Monkey replied.
Monkey seemed to make no preparations for the suivant exercise. Moreover, tigresse and grue, crane became really puzzled. “Um… Monkey… What are we supposed to be doing?” tigresse asked him. “It’s simple.” Monkey responded, “You guys remember that toi trained together around those stone structures before, right?” “Yes…” they a dit in unison, slowly. “Well, the trees around toi are just like those stone structures, except for the fact that there are plus of them and that they’re closer together.” Monkey continued. “So… toi want us to fight each other as we déplacer from arbre to arbre just like toi do?” asked Tigress. “Exactly!” exclaimed Monkey. “Sounds good to me.” grue, crane said, as the he and tigresse jumped, climbed, and flew into the trees above.
The two kung fu masters repeatedly collided together, exchanging kicks and punches, as the two moved quickly through the trees, as Monkey kept pace behind them. “You two are looking great. Keep it up!” he shouted. As the two warriors continued to come together, however, they began to feel and hear a little growl in their stomachs. “Hold on, Tigress.” grue, crane stated, “Do toi feel hungry?” “Yes, I do.” she replied, “Monkey, do toi have any nourriture on you?” Monkey put his hand behind his back and said, “Um… I did, but…” “Po ate it all, didn’t he?!” tigresse interrupted. “Yes…” Monkey sighed, as grue, crane and tigresse did the same deep sigh. “I told toi that we should’ve brought more!” exclaimed Crane. “Hold on a sec.” tigresse said, “There’s got to be some-” Suddenly, a Capybara appeared out of the bushes around them. It appeared to be exhausted and out of breath. grue, crane and Monkey stared at it, with no intent to harm it at all. However, the Capybara’s face turned into a fearful one when it looked up at Tigress.
Once grue, crane and Monkey looked at Tigress, they could not believe their eyes. She stared at the small mammal with an intent stare. Her mouth began to water heavily, and she a dit one word, “Food…” The Capybara screamed and ran back into the bushes. “Mine…!” tigresse shouted as she chased after it. grue, crane yelled for tigresse to come back. Monkey then put one of his hands in front of him, blocking his progress. “It’s her wild instincts, Crane.” he stated.
“Wild instincts?!”
“She’s a tiger still at heart. This is what a predator does, Crane.”
“But… She always eats noodles and dumplings with us.”
“That is true. However, if someone like her is trapped in a wilderness like this with no nourriture for a good amount of time, the predator inside of them will take over.”
“So… What do we do now?!”
“Just stand here and wait.”
The two males stood there and watched as tigresse disappeared in the lush jungle.
