Some Englishmen were traveling through a forest in India. On the way back, they found a little tiger. It was very young, not more than two weeks old. They took the tiger with them and tied it with a rope to the pole in the middle of their tent. The little tiger liked the place and played with the rope. The men stood around and watched it.
Two hours later, when the men were having supper, they heard a big roar. The little tiger heard it too. It became scared and pulled at the rope. Suddenly, a very big mother tiger jumped into the tent. She did not look at the men. She saw only the little tiger. The mother tiger caught her baby and pulled the rope. Then she went to the door of the tent and jumped out. The men could not speak for a long time.
