chess at the hospital

The cubs had the idea that the hospital patitents would recover faster if they were allowed outside once a day for a fun activity.

"And chess should be that fun activity," said Arunacub.

"But the meditator creatures may not all know chess," pointed out Tirucub. "How can we teach them all at once? We can't be madly dashing from chessboard to chessboard."

"We don't need to," said Arunacub. "One giant chessboard will do."

With materials left over from the construction of the hospital, they soon had a nice board ready.

"I will test it out," said Omcub, dashing along diagonals, zooming in L's, and racing rookishly from one end of the board to the other. "Poafick!"

The doctors agreed that a game of chess in the sunshine would be just the thing for their patients who were well enough to go out, and they agreed to play themselves.



Just one little tiger cub was not well enough to get up. His doctor stayed by his bedside, lovingly caring for him. The tiger cub was listening longingly to the sounds of chess outside the windows when suddenly a tiny meditator bunny (a cousin of Palanibunny) arrived in the doorway. "Since you must stay inside, I will do a magic show for you," said Meditator Bunny.

The little cub's face lit up. And then, to his astonishment, the little bunny made a human suddenly pop out of a magic box! The cub clapped and begged to see the trick again. The heart specialist was just as surprised as his young patient.



"Tell us how you did it!" pleaded the cub.

But, even though Med Bunny was willing to do the trick quite a few times, he would only smile when asked to explain it.
