As Golden Whiskers grew, it became clear that it was not an ordinary domestic cat but a wild predator capable of hunting larger prey. Eventually, the cat stopped coming to their feeding spot, returning to the wilderness to live independently.
Though How missed her furry friend, she was glad to see it thrive in its natural habitat. Several weeks later, while Jiao was away fishing, How accompanied her mother to the river to gather plants for her mother’s healing remedies. While her mother searched for herbs, How played by the riverbank, unaware of the danger lurking nearby.
A crocodile, hidden beneath the murky water, lunged at How, catching her by the leg and dragging her towards the river. In a panic, How’s mother rushed to her daughter’s aid but felt helpless against the formidable reptile. Just when all seemed lost, a large golden figure burst from the undergrowth. It was Golden Whiskers, now a powerful adult cat.
The feline attacked the crocodile with claws and teeth, forcing the predator to release its grip on How. As the crocodile retreated, the cat ensured How was safe before disappearing back into the forest. How’s family was astounded by the cat’s bravery and grateful for its intervention. They had never expected that their kindness towards a vulnerable kitten would one day be repaid so dramatically.
Jiao and How’s mother spread the story of Golden Whiskers throughout the village, praising the wild cat that had saved their daughter’s life. Each day, How gazed into the forest, hoping to catch a glimpse of her savior. She knew that the bond she had formed with Golden Whiskers was extraordinary, a testament to the enduring power of kindness.
The story of How and Golden Whiskers became a cherished tale in their village, a reminder that good deeds have a way of coming back when least expected.
