(Mis)Understanding English

I'm reading a bedtime story to Nidhi. In between she asks,

3yo: Why was the tail making a noise?
Me: Whose tail?
3yo: Big bear mother's tail.
Me: It wasn't making a noise.
3yo: Then why were they listening to it?

The sentence I had just read
"So, night after night, snug inside their den, the cubs listened to Big Bear Mother's tales."
