Little Tiger and Little Cow
Little Tiger was the only child of Tiger King. Every day, his parents would go out hunting for food, leaving him alone at home. One day, Little Tiger decided to go outside and play. As he reached the edge of the forest, he met Little Cow, and the two of them started playing hide-and-seek together, having a wonderful time. They agreed to meet again the next day to play.
Excited, Little Tiger returned home and happily told his mother, “Mom, today I made a great friend—Little Cow. We played together all afternoon, and it was so much fun!” Tiger Mother quickly said, “What? Silly child, you actually played with him all afternoon? You should have eaten him! Do you know how delicious beef is?” Little Tiger hung his head and said, “Mom, I understand.” Tiger Mother handed Little Tiger a large sack and told him to use it the next day…
That night, Little Tiger lay in bed, unable to sleep, thinking and thinking…
Meanwhile, Little Cow also returned home, brimming with excitement. He joyfully told his mother, “Mom, today I made a great friend—Little Tiger. We played together all afternoon, and it was so much fun!” Cow Mother quickly said, “What? Silly child, you actually played with him all afternoon? How dangerous! He could have eaten you! Don’t you know how cruel tigers are?”
Little Cow hung his head and said, “Mom, I understand.” Cow Mother handed Little Cow a long rope and told him to use it the next day…
That night, Little Cow lay in bed, unable to sleep, thinking and thinking…
Early the next morning, Little Cow got up. He took the long rope his mother gave him and gathered Little Elephant, Little Sheep, Little Deer, and others, instructing them to hide in the bushes early, waiting for his signal.
Little Tiger also got up early. He took the large sack his mother gave him, wandered around the yard for a while, and then headed toward the forest. As he reached the edge of the forest, Little Tiger saw Little Cow grazing on the grass. He quickly sped up his pace, but unexpectedly, he stepped into a trap and fell with a thud. Seeing this, Little Cow shouted, “Everyone, come out quickly!” He ran toward Little Tiger as he called. Little Elephant, Little Sheep, Little Deer, and the others all jumped out of the bushes and ran to the edge of the trap. Just as they were about to throw stones into the pit, Little Cow said, “No! Let’s save him instead! The tiger population is dwindling, and we have a responsibility to protect endangered animals!” Little Deer said, “But he will eat us.” “No, I’m not here to eat you! Look!” Little Tiger opened the sack, revealing that it was filled with tender grass. “I want to be friends with you, so I woke up early today to gather this grass to give to you…”
Before Little Tiger could say more, a rope was lowered down. “Hold on tight, Little Tiger!” A short while later, the forest echoed with joyful laughter.
