The Tiger's Teacher
"Become my teacher! If i ever harm a hair on your head,
may i be cursed by all animals.
(He couldn't hurt a fly.)
May i go hungry forever if i ever allow you to come to harm,"
appealed Tiger.
Tiger did his best to look truthful to Cat.
Finally Cat was convinced to help Tiger.
Cat taught Tiger to do gymnastics and to move easily and quietly.
Cat was a good teacher and coach.
She taught Tiger move after move.
She did her best to teach Tiger all she knew.
She kept only one trick to herself.
That was the art of climbing trees.
Tiger was a good student.
He learned every trick that was taught.
Before long he was strong,fast,quiet and smooth in his movements.
He was ready to become a great hunter.
He was ready to eat.
Tiger looked at Cat. Cat looked delicious.
Cat saw Tiger staring at her.
Tiger smiled and showed his teeth.
Tiger's mouth began to water, and it drooled down the side of his mouth.
