About a careless tiger who got poisoned and dead

1. 1 The Careless Tiger

2. 2 Once there was a very wealthy man who owned a large herd of cattle. He hired a monkey to look after them. The monkey used to take the cattle to the forest every day and bring them back home safely

3. 3 During one time of the year when the fields were filled with the green paddy, the monkey took the cattle to the forest to grace the grass. From there he brought the milk, butter and cheese to the rich man. It just so happened that being in the forest put the cattle in a very frightening situation.

4. 4 There was a cunning tiger which lived nearby. The tiger was very ferocious. One day when the cattle were grazing the grass, the monkey caught the scent of the tiger. He herded back all the cattle safely home. Sensing the presence of the tiger kept the cattle in constant fear.

5. 5 This made the cows tense and high-strung leaving them too weak to give more than a little milk. One day the owner of the cattle called the monkey. “Why are you bringing such a small quantity of milk, butter and cheese?” The monkey replied, “Sir, cows need to be calm and contented to give much milk.

6. 6 Due to a lurking tiger your cows are always afraid and tense, so they give less milk.” “I see,” the owner said. “Can we find a hunter who can kill the tiger?” “Sir, the tiger has already killed hunters,” the monkey said. “Highly ferocious yeah?” the owner commented. “And very cunning too,” the monkey said. “Why do you say that?” the owner asked.

7. 7 The monkey explained, “A friend of mine, a swan helped him when he was sick by giving him food but when he recovered he called the swan and made a dinner of her.” “How cruel,” the owner said. “So anytime my cattle are at risk?” “The monkey said, “So if you permit me I have an idea to kill the tiger

8. 8 “Tell me,” the owner said. “Sir,” the monkey went on, “there happens to be a variety of deer living in the forest. They are called ‘mini deer’ because they are so small. Even the adults only grow up to be about one foot tall. The tiger has become very friendly with a certain mini deer. We can capture the tiger's friend and rub poison all over her body. Then we can wait for a couple of days before releasing her. She will be like a bait to trap the tiger.

9. 9 “Excellent idea!” the owner said. “My cows will be at peace and will be able to give their usual milk. They will be safe and happy again but who can bring the mini deer?” The monkey explained, “I can lure the mini deer with some grass and bring her here.” Following the plan, the monkey lured the mini deer to the owner’s place.

10. 10 The owner smeared the body of the mini deer with poison and after a day it was left in the forest. When the tiger saw his favorite mini deer back, he was so overjoyed that he threw all caution to the winds. Without even sniffing the air around her, he immediately began licking over her excitedly.

11. 11 Because of too much joy and too little caution he fell into the poisonous trap. The tiger died on the spot. The owner was very happy and appreciated the clever monkey. “You have saved all my cattle from the tiger,” the happy owner told the monkey. The clever monkey smiled and said, “The cunning will fall into cunningly conceived traps.” From then on, the monkey could take the cattle to the forest and all the cattle could graze safely and happily In the forest.
