 Jerry of the circus for Jerry of the circus will be good friend yeah but not for long I'm afraid why not well there's always a danger that if the cub gets bigger he might hurt rags sometime while they're playing if no one was around and it was blood or something that cup might revert to his jungle ancestors what do you mean revert well he might forget he's supposed to be a well behaved while animal and suddenly smelling blood he might think of the kill oh I see of course I suppose he might still think you'd like to train with the pals I should say not what do you think I am guess maybe I'd better take rags now and I didn't mean to scare you Jerry not much you didn't know it's safe enough for them to play now if we kind of keep our eyes on them but it is true you have to be pretty careful while the crop goes up golly I should say so I suppose they're too little to know why they do certain things that's it and too young to be well enough trained so you can trust them it's fuzzy too small to start training yet no sir he's just about the right age yeah I'd like to try what can we teach him I was planning on feeding him now so this is just about the best time to start learning something I know because you reward him when he does the right thing hit the nail right in the head Jerry look here's a little board it let's make him jump over okay take these pieces of meat and start calling him I don't mean to kind of a cat you think now come here and right on I'm trying to train this cub guess I'll call him fuzzy he may as well learn his name now you're going to have your hands full here I'll hold rags see they both smell me oh no I manage rags will behave down rags and not a word out of you understand he may behave but he sure sashes your back come on now fuzzy you're fuzzy geez cute well he's got a good nose all right but he climbed over the board instead of just that's all right given this piece of meat at least you'll know what's coming to him on the other side of that board I'll put fuzzy back on the other side of the board again now mr. cubline let's see you do your stuff okay fuzzy come on well that's better catching on aren't you though you're kind of hungry huh he acts as if he hasn't eaten for days cublines eat just like little pigs and in a couple of months when they've got bigger stomachs and bigger appetite you should see them he hasn't jumped yet but he certainly has learned to get over that board quick enough just give him time here we're giving this another try there you go fuzzy back on the other side you're fuzzy fuzzy fuzzy sure he did but he lost his balance his first jump pretty good fuzzy you're deserve your meat this time hey careful of my finger she is teeth are sharp so are his claws cubs can do plenty of damage if they're not watched say wait a minute golly he's quick yeah he's not going to take any chances with the rest of that meat thinks he'd better get it now all I get is good back you go we'll try it once more fuzzy okay I'm ready come on fuzzy that's what I call a real job watch out Jerry he's gonna get the rest of that get away from there look at those little months here get away my golly that cub is a scrapper for being such a little shaver fuzzy you're trying to protect his meat trying to sprawl all over it's a little big poor rags fuzzy can sure put on a vicious looking act a rag look out stop it rags I'll look at his legs good night that's a mean one right in the joint to rags are you poor thing here wait a minute I'll stick fuzzy back in the cage and help you fix rags up this cub is smart enough but he is too much of a scrapper I can see you'll take plenty of training golly do you think rags will be all right I never heard him whine so much you think it's serious I'll see you in a minute here you are cat now you stay in there come on Jerry we'll go over to my wagon I got a lot of first-aid things over there all right oh there's Patsy hello there Patsy where you're going excitement I guess excitement say you just missed plenty of it what happened hey what's wrong with rags oh he got scratched by the new cub Jason was just you on me oh I'll say he did Jason look this looks kind of bad isn't that tendon torn or something look how he's holding that leg as if he has any control over yeah I know I'm not sure yet I'll have to fix it I'm up ah gee it isn't serious is it I don't know what I'd do if anything happened to rags I certainly hope not come on in here there you are rags I can't tell very well what's what yet we'll have to put a little iodine in here to be sure it's not infected got to be pretty careful with claws they can be nasty sometimes I know I know that's not very nice to take poor fellow there you are rags you're gonna be all nice and well certainly do a marvelous piece of work Jason why'd you learn to be such a good veterinarian you're in a hospital what do you mean oh well I was laid up once oh you mean that time you had that bad accident in the cage yeah that's it well all the time I was in the hospital I learned everything I could about how to protect myself in case of an accident I even used to read books on anatomy but how do you know about animals well when I learned all I could about people I got some books from the library on animals so I'd be an amateur veterinarian too I always knew you were smart Jason but didn't realize how versatile you are what's versatile oh that's being good at lots of things hey Jason what are you doing with those sticks I'm going to put rags foot in a splint say is it as bad as that that doesn't mean it's serious Jerry it'll just protect rags from getting hurt anymore and it'll make him keep his legs still well that one anyway but how will he do his act he won't do his act I'll say you what a bump do well I don't know as soon as we get this fixed you'd better take rags over and see what bumps says you certainly go about that managing business professionally Jason good night
