The tiger and the lion were very good friends. One day, the tiger went to visit the lion’s home. When the lion saw the tiger’s fur, he said, “Brother Tiger! Just look at your fur, those stripes are really too unsightly. Look at my brown fur, isn’t it much more majestic!”
The tiger replied, “Big Brother Lion, you don’t know this, but these stripes of mine are incredibly helpful when I’m hunting.”
The lion asked curiously, “What use do those stripes have?”
The tiger said, “The stripes crisscross with the thicket, making it hard for prey to distinguish where I’m hiding.”
The lion exclaimed in surprise, “That’s so impressive.”
The tiger began to feel proud and said, “Did you know? Every tiger’s stripes are unique; there are no two tigers in the world with exactly the same pattern.”
The lion nodded repeatedly, now realizing that he should never underestimate the tiger’s stripes again.
