One need not be physically strong to be brave. Bravery is also a matter of intelligence and courage. An old lady lived all alone in her house, but she was brave. She was physically weak but courageous. She had no one to look after her, except a pet dog. One day, some burglars entered her house. Her dog started barking and the burglars were alarmed. So, they quickly gagged the dog who went silent now, but the old lady woke up. She instantly understood that some thieves had entered her house. She acted as if she was sleeping, so the burglars left her alone. The burglars were quietly collecting the goodies, when she left the house and locked it from outside. Then the old lady began shouting, “Thief! Thief…!!” Soon her neighbours gathered outside her house and the thieves were caught. While everyone appreciated the courage of the old lady, she rushed to her unconscious dog, which recovered later.
