Chapter 12: The Great Flood IV
"Carnivorous animals can't be vegetarian at all, it's nature and can't be changed!"
"Vegetarianism is very healthy, you may not have noticed it yet!" Panda suddenly changed into an old pedantic tone, and taught the little white tiger earnestly. "It's going to be tough for the first few days, but it's good to get used to it, and you'll feel refreshed!"
"Nonsense, I don't believe it!"
"Then I'll let you make a choice now: either you promise to be vegetarian and I'll heal you right away, or if you don't change your nature, I'll let Grandpa Noah throw you out of the ark right away!"
"I can't die yet, I still have to avenge my mother!"
"A tiger that is paralyzed on the ground and can't get up at all, still thinking about revenge! I think you're daydreaming!" The seemingly honest panda didn't expect to have a sharp side, and Bangka suddenly felt that he was far smarter than he thought.
Although our little white tiger didn't believe that he could be a vegetarian at all, he didn't want to be paralyzed there all the time like he is now, unable to move, which made him feel fear that he had never felt before, and he felt even more ashamed!
"If I had eaten grass, I wouldn't have been so strong!"
"I didn't let you eat grass, but let you eat vegetarian, and you have to choose from fruits and vegetables!"
"Eating meat gives me strength, it makes me run as fast as the wind!"
"Eating a vegetarian diet can keep you healthy forever, and health is the foundation of all strength!"
"But if a tiger is a vegetarian, it will make other animals look down on it!"
"Animals used to look down on you because they were afraid of you! Think about it, since you were born, have you ever had any friends other than your kind?"
"I'm a born king, I don't need friends!"
"Well, it seems that I don't need to save you anymore! you can continue to lie here and be your paralytic king, anyway, there are so many animals on this ark that I need to treat them!"
The panda said, turning his head away, gesturing to leave.
"You wait—can you really cure me?"
"Why else would I come to see you?" said the panda as he walked out, "I saw you when you were carried up to the boat, so I always felt relieved." ”
The little white tiger frowned, with a reluctant expression, but he had no choice.
"Well, I promise you a try, as long as you can cure me!"
"Just trying, I don't want to see you kill on the ark once you've been cured!"
"As long as I'm on the ark, I'll never eat meat!"
"You're a tiger, you have to talk!"
"I'm the Tiger King, of course I do what I say!"
Before Bangka could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a commotion that suddenly rushed into the hatch. When he saw a dark-skinned strong man running in with a sharp knife, he saw the panda standing there, and thought he was a half-grown child—the god grass had made the panda's fat body white and miserable, and the thick fur that grew on it could not be seen clearly—so he grabbed him and forced the knife to his neck.
"You are not allowed to come, or I will kill him!" the man shouted to the group of people who were chasing after him, all of whom had white or red faces, and although their facial features were different, it was clear that they should all belong to the same race.
Among these people there is an old man with a long and dense white beard, very eye-catching, he is on a slender cane, breaking through the crowd and coming forward, seeing the man holding the panda hostage, he is obviously a little nervous: "You put down the knife first, we have something to discuss!"
"Unless you promise to keep me on the ark, I'll kill all the animals I see!"
"Most of the animals on this ark are only one male and one female, and if you kill any of them, it may cause their extinction!"
"I can't control this, once I am driven off the boat by you, my people will also be exterminated! I have just married my wife and have not yet given birth to children, who will inherit our bloodline by then?"
"You are ugly and fierce, and God does not want you to be His chosen people!" cried out a young man in a fit of rage.
"Shut up, you only anger him by saying that!" the old man hurriedly scolded his grandson.
"Then why did God create us to come into this world in the first place?" the swarthy man cried out in grief, "Among the countless human beings, not only of you Noah's family are righteous, but also many of you are pure and selfless, so why should we lose our lives in the flood?"
"You took your wife into the animals and sneaked up on the ark, and you did such a cunning thing, and you dare to say that you are innocent?" questioned another grandfather Noah's grandson.
"This is the only wrong thing I have ever done in the world, but I am also forced to helpless in order to save my life, but also to save my wife!"
"I understand," Panda said slowly, listening to his voice, very calm. "There is nothing wrong with you in doing this, and God will not blame you for it, because you have hidden yourself and your wife in the community of animals, and you are one of them, and you are not considered human, and Noah, as a righteous man, saved you as a species. What do you think of my idea?" would have thought he was a human being, and it was no wonder that the black man had been deceived.
But the old man who heard him speak was stunned, and the panda motioned to him not to show it with his eyes, and the old man put away the expression on his face.
"This is such an insult to my wife and me!" the black man said bitterly.
"In fact, in the eyes of the animals on the ark, human beings are just another animal, and only you will see your identity as far above all other animals. The panda said as he raised his paw and patted the black man's hand holding the knife. "I'll take you to a safe place, where you and your wife will be very well taken care of!" Strange to say, the man actually let go, and the knife fell, and was caught in the plush palm of the panda.
Bangka then went to look at the man again, and found him standing there, unable to move. "Why can't I move?"
"I ordered your acupuncture points, so you should be patient, otherwise, I am afraid that you will hurt the innocent again if you are impulsive!" said the panda, carrying the man on his shoulders and walking towards the hatch. "Grandpa Noah, I'll take him to my cabin first, because he's dangerous, and I'm the only one on the ark who can subdue him right now!"
"Y-you ate the sacred grass?" Noah looked at the lamb standing outside the hatch, then turned his head to look at the panda, as if he suddenly understood something.
"Soon, all the herbivores on this ark will be able to speak, so it's better for you to take better care of us!" Panda smiled at Grandpa Noah, and then walked towards the narrow passage outside the hatch. "Please send his wife over later, and I will take good care of them during the flood. ”
This was the first time Bangka had worked with pandas, and he was very impressed by the chubby bear-like animal: first of all, he looked so cute, very warm-hearted, and even more intelligent.
What amazes Bangka the most is his special skill: not only can he treat animals, but he can also subdue the bad guys in one fell swoop!
