After a month of searching, the huntsman finally located the beast, only to find it lying on the ground, gravely wounded. Drawing closer, he noticed deep gashes on its hind legs that exposed the raw tissue beneath. "Must have been hunted by a lion," he thought.

The creature stared back at him hopelessly, too exhausted to struggle. Filled with pity, the huntsman carried the creature to a nearby cave, where he cleaned its wounds and fed it. When he returned the following day, the creature was still weak, but its eyes brightened at the sight of the food he brought. This continued for a week until the creature was finally able to walk. A deep bond formed between them, and the huntsman ultimately decided to set it free.

Touched by his gentleness, the creature fell In love with the huntsman, ano always looked forward to his return.
