Tiger and traveller | A Tiger Story
Once upon a time there was a tiger in the forest. The tiger is too old to hunt. One day while going to the river, the tiger saw a gold bracelet.
It looked at that bracelet and picked it up. The tiger thought it would be useful for him. It picked up the bracelet and waited there for food.
At that time a man was traveling on that side of the river. As soon as the tiger saw the man, the tiger smiled inwardly as if he had found food for himself.
Then he looked at the man and said, “Sir, do you want this gold bracelet? This is of no use to me” the tiger asked. The man who heard this began to think.
It’s really a gold bracelet, but there’s a tiger. The man looked at the tiger and asked, “I want that gold bracelet, but how can I trust you?”
“It is true what you said. I was bad once. But I’m so good now. A preacher changed me good and now I will not do anything to anyone,” said the tiger.
The traveler asked, “But If I come near to you, you will smell me and will attack me”. The tiger replied, “surely I won’t do that.
Even if I try to eat you I can’t because I am too old and my legs are weak, so you can believe me and take this gold bracelet“. The traveler believed the cunning words of the tiger. And he was ready to swim and cross the river, to get the bracelet.
Suddenly he got stuck in the river. He immediately shouted at the tiger and asked for help. The tiger jumped into the water to attack the man saying, “Oh, you’re trapped in the water, I’ll come and save you.”
The tiger ate him before the man could feel his trap.
