An old tiger lives in the forest1. He does not want to look for food. He often tells other animals to bring him something to eat.

　　One day He sees a monkey and says, "I'm hungry, monkey. Go to the village and bring me a fat pig."

　　"Oh, Tiger," says the monkey. "I can't 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 tiger. "Show me that tiger. I will teach him a lesson ."

　　"Come with me," says the monkey.

　　The monkey and the tiger get to a bridge2 over the river. "Now look down at the water," says the monkey.

　　"Do you see the head, the white teeth and the big green eyes of a tiger?"

　　"Yes, I do," says the old tiger," I will eat him up!"

　　"Grr…! So you told Monkey not to bring me anything?! Grrr … I'll kill3 you!”

　　With these words the tiger jumped into the river. He doesn't come out again.

　　"Ha,ha, ha! Goodbye, Mr Tiger," says the monkey and he went away .
