Once
upon a time, there was an old Tiger that could no longer hunt. One winter morning,
he stood in a lake and held a edge of holy grass in one paw and a gold bracelet
in the other. He was shouting, “Ladies and Gentlemen! Please help me and I will
gift you this gold bracelet.”
Nobody was
listened his shout. At that time a Traveler was passing by and he liked the
gold bracelet. However, he was scared of the Tiger.
The
Tiger replied, “I admit that when I was young, I was wicked and killed many
cows and human beings when I was young, now I became old. My teeth and claws
have fallen off. Then a holy man advised me to give offerings gold. So, now I
take a bath and give things for the sake of donation. So, what have you to fear
from me?” The Traveler believed him and went into the lake, but got struck in the
deep mud.
When the
Tiger saw this, he shouted at him. “Oh! Don’t worry. I’ll help you,” he said,
and slowly walked towards the Traveler and grabbed him with his paws.
Soon
after that, the Tiger killed the Traveler and ate him up.
