He sees a monkey and said , “I’m hungry, Monkey. Go to the village and bring me a big pig.”
“ Oh, Tiger,” says the monkey. “ I cannot do that now. There is another tiger over there. He also wants a fat pig. He will not let me get anything for you to eat. I am afraid of him”
“What?” cries the old tiger, “Show me that tiger. I will talk to him.”
“ come with me,” says the monkey.
The monkey and the tiger get to a bridge over the river.
“ Now look down at the river.” Says the monkey.

“ Yes, I do,” cries the old tiger, “ I will eat up!”
With these words, the tiger jumps into the river.
