The Kitten Slips Off The Bridge The Old Man Runs To Help Him

An old man was walking in sunny weather near a bridge in Japan, without a kitten which had slipped and fallen to the ground. He ran to the place where he assumed the cat had fallen and strangely discovered it was still alive, trembling with fear among the bushes.

Although she did not survive such a long fall, the bushes must have helped mitigate the impact when she hit the ground.

He laid him on the ground after lifting him up and gave him a brief examination. Her hind legs were paralyzed and she could not move them when she tried to walk.

He felt he couldn’t abandon her, so he brought her home to be treated.

It’s a good thing he did, because the river burst its banks the next day.
