The Merciful Tiger

The-Merciful-Tiger

One day, when Tenali was going to the forest to cut wood, he met a blind tiger. The tiger initially missed Tenali. But he soon smelt a human presence in the air around him. “Who’s that,” he growled. “Just because I’ve grown old, you think you can come here as and when you please. I’m still capable of gouging your liver out,” he threatened. By now Tenali was shivering with fear. He spoke in a humble tone, “No, Sir, you are the undisputed king of the jungle. If you’ll permit me…”

His tone won the tiger’s heart. “You sound like a good man. You can take as much wood as you want. But, after you are done, come over to my house.” Tenali promised he would. Since he had promised, he decided to go. But when he reached the tiger’s lair, he realised his fears were baseless. The tiger actually wanted to talk to him.
