The Lazy Bear and the Kind Cow

One morning, Sapi Susu was grazing peacefully in the meadow. She loved the taste of the fresh, dewy grass.

Not too far away, under a large tree, Bruno the brown bear was sprawled out, sleeping soundly as usual.

Sapi Susu noticed Bruno's thin frame and approached him with concern, 'Bruno, why do you look so weak? Aren't you eating?'

Bruno opened his eyes, looked at Sapi Susu and replied, 'I don't have any food. I'm too lazy to find some for myself.'

Sapi Susu felt sorry for Bruno and offered, 'Why don't you eat grass with me? There's plenty of fresh grass here.'

Bruno looked thrilled at Sapi Susu's offer. He got up and began eating the fresh grass with her.

Days passed, and Bruno regained his strength. He was grateful to Sapi Susu for her kindness.

However, Sapi Susu noticed that Bruno was still not making any effort to find his own food.

'Bruno, it's time you learn to find your own food. You can't rely on me forever,' Sapi Susu said gently.

Bruno looked startled. He realized that Sapi Susu was right. He needed to become independent.

The next day, Bruno began to search for his own food. It was difficult at first, but he didn't give up.

Eventually, Bruno learned to fend for himself, all thanks to Sapi Susu's kindness and tough love.
