THE LITTLE TIGER
| One warm day in the jungle there lived a tiger cub. |  |
| He took all of a monkey’s bananas, tried to eat a buffalo, nearly pulled a rhino’s horn off and kept on pulling an elephant’s tail. This carried on until the animals had had enough and decided to do something about it. |  |
| So five days later his friends took him to an elephant’s graveyard! The monkey, who was the cleverest of them all, had an idea. He told the tiger that they were going to have a look around but really they were going to abandon him! |  |
| When the tiger realised that he had been abandoned he started to roar for help. In the village everyone ran away, apart from a young boy called James. He followed the sound until he found the little tiger. He took the tiger home and cared for him. |  |
| Meanwhile the other animals missed having the tiger around so they decided to go and hunt for him. But on the way the buffalo saw a hungry leopard and let out a loud snort as a warning. Suddenly the leopard ran at them so the animals turned and fled! |  |
| While the animals were searching in safer places the tiger had been set free. When he went and found his friends they thought he was someone else so they ran away. They soon realised the tiger was their friend and that he had stopped being cruel. He apologised for what he had done and the other animals also apologised for abandoning him. |  |
They then shared dinner and agreed to be more respectful to each other.
