She cried all night and all of the next day. Her tears made long, dark stains down her cheeks. An old man who was passing by heard her crying and asked her what was wrong. She explained what had happened. The old man quickly realised that it was the lazy hunter from the village who had stolen her cubs.

He promised to return them to her. The old man spoke with the elders, and they confronted the lazy hunter. He returned the cubs to their mother, but the stains from her tears could not be wiped away.
