Story: 'Pay attention, Red. Mum's trying to teach us something!'

'Yeah, okay, I know we can find our way by looking at the stars. Did you hear that rustle of leaves?'

'I was too busy paying attention to Mum.'

'But what did Mum say was the most important thing for us to learn to do?'

'Stay alert and use all our senses, no matter what else is going on, to make sure we always get enough to eat.'

'Well, if you didn't hear anything, do you smell anything?'

'There's a kinda stinky smell coming from over there.'

'And I believe I just heard a high-pitched squeak.'

'Are you trying to tell me that you think there's a mouse over there?'

'I'm trying to tell you that you need to stop staring at the sky, Vic. Like, now!'

'Why?'

'Because stargazing is all very well, but this simply isn't the time.'

'What do you mean?'

'It's time for a meal – and we're gonna put that mouse on the menu!'

'Mum, may we take a break now?'

'Vic, that mouse'll get away if we don't move NOW!!!'

'Well, what are you cubs waiting for? Ah, it's moments like this that make a mum proud! I'm raising a couple of hunters!'
