One day, as I was in the field and my buffalo was grazing nearby, a tiger came. It asked why a strong buffalo was my servant and I was its master. I told the tiger that I had something called wisdom. The Tiger wanted to see it and I told it I left the wisdom at home that day. Then I tied the tiger to a tree with a rope because I didn’t want it to eat my buffalo. I went to get some straw and I burned the tiger. The tiger escaped, but today it still has black stripes from the burns.
