Little Vet <wr>

Meg is a vet. A young bear cub has hurt his leg, and Meg is working to fix it.

When the leg is all healed, the bear cub goes on his way. He is so grateful to have Meg as his vet.

Meg has had so many patients that she has run out of one of the natural medicines. She didn't notice that the jar was getting empty.

She wraps her head in a scarf and heads out to find the precious medicine. She knows exactly where the rare herb grows.

It is difficult to get to the only place the herb grows. Meg must climb roots and skirt puddles to get there. She doesn't stop. She needs to have the medicine.

Deep in the jungle, she finds the plant. On the way back, she comes across a monkey with a terrible itch.

The rare herb is just what he needs. She makes a paste from it and smooths it over his itchy skin.

Then she passes a nest of an enormous bird. It is holding its leg all wrong, and Meg knows what to do.

A little more of the rare herb goes onto his leg before she wraps it up to keep the wound dry.

Meg thinks she can get the herb home now. Then she meets a baby deer tangled up in vines.

Meg puts down the bag of precious herbs while she wrestles with the rest of the vine. She wants to make sure no other animal gets tangled.

She had her back turned and didn't see the fawn munching hungrily on the last of the herbs in her bag. He is so little. She lets him finish it. She can get more.

On the way back to where the herb grows, Meg meets the monkey and the bird. 'We thought you were going home,' they say. Meg tells them where the last of the medicine has gone.

The monkey wants to help and he gladly goes with Meg to get more. 'The vet needs to be looked after too,' he says.
