Once there was a streaked, scrawny, hungry tiger that never could get enough to eat. He took the food of the other animals.
On Monday the tiger ate the chicken of the lion.
On the Tuesday he ate the eggs of the snake.
On Wednesday he ate the fruits and herbs of the giraffe, the hippo and the elephant.
On Thursday the tiger ate insects and seeds of the iguana.
On Friday he ate the mice of the hawk
On Saturday the tiger ate the fish of the crocodile.
All that animals felt so sad because the streaked, scrawny, hungry tiger took all the food and ran. This tiger should have been as fat as butter. But he wasn’t at all. The more he ate, the scrawnier and hungrier he grew. The other animals didn’t feel one bit safe. They stood at a distance of the tiger.
When those animals were talking about the great problem, just then a fat brown bear came hopping through the forest picking berries and honey. All the animals said “Oh you dear bear! We decided you talk with the tiger.
What shall I talk about?” the tiger asked. Something happened to us. “The important thing is to stop the hunger of the tiger”.So the brown bear went to the big hungry tiger and said him: “you look scrawny to talk things over. So how about supper at my house first?” The tiger asked: “What’s for supper?” The brown bear answered: A delicious vegetables and mushrooms stew”.
So they went to the bear house, where the stew began to smell very good. The bear gave him a big bowl of hot stew. When he finished the stew the bear filled his bowl again. When the tiger ate all he could hold, the bear filled his bowl with berries and honey. And when the berries and the honey were gone, the streaked, scrawny, hungry tiger wasn’t hungry anymore! He felt so good and fat and comfortable that he couldn’t even move.
That tiger wasn’t one bit hungry. He went home so happy because he learned how to cook a delicious vegetables and mushrooms supper. He wasn’t hungry for the food of the other animals. The lion, the snake, the giraffe, the hippo, the elephant, the iguana, the hawk and the crocodile felt very peaceful because the streaked, scrawny, hungrytiger never came back to take their food
The lion, the snake, giraffe, hippopotamus, elephant, the iguana, the falcon and crocodile felt very calm because the grain, scrawny, hungry tiger never resumed his meal.
