The pandas were engaged in an epic battle.
But over what we cannot be sure.
The weather was nice.
The bamboo was plentiful.
There seemed to be perfect conditions for lying around doing nothing.
But instead the teeth and claws were out.
Finally Mom got tired and the cubs went to cuddle in the hammock.
And give each other kisses.
The kind of kisses where the scruff of your brother’s neck winds up in your mouth.
And somehow he winds up falling out of the hammock.
And you’re not very helpful when he tries to get back in.
So he gives you a big hug.
Such friendly hugs.
And you both fall out of the hammock.
Hey! No sneaking in the back!
Where did he go?
We don’t both fit in here!
This isn’t working!
Move over and give me some space!
Let me tell you a secret.
If I go away and leave you alone.
You will have a lot more space to get comfortable.
But soon you will be sad and lonely.
And I’ll get all the bamboo to myself!
