Mouse Deer and Tiger

One upon a time, there was a mouse deer living in a forest. Although he was small,
he wasn’t afraid of the bigger animals who wanted to eat him. He was so smart; he
always managed to ditch them. One day, a tiger was wondering around for food. He
hadn’t been eating for days. He was really hungry. While he was walking in the forest, he
saw Mouse Deer. The tiger wanted to eat him.

Tiger slowly ducked, crawled, approaching Mouse Deer, then…”Gotcha!” said

Tiger. He caught Mouse Deer. “Hello, Mouse Deer! I’m really hungry right now. You’ll
be my lunch!” said Tiger. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be his lunch. He tried to be calm.
He looked around and saw some buffalo’s dung. He had an idea. “I’m sorry, tiger. I can’t
be your lunch now. The King has order me to guard his cake,” said Mouse Deer calmly.
“His cake?” said tiger curiously. “Yes there it is. It’s very delicious. The King doesn’t
want anyone else to eat it, so he ordered me to guard it.” Mouse Deer pointed the
buffalo’s dung. “Can I taste it?” Tiger asked. “Of Course you can’t. the King would be
very angry.” Said Mouse deer refused. “Just one little bite, Mouse Deer! The King will
never know.” Said Tiger. “”Well, okay, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so The King
wont blame me.” Said Mouse Deer. “All right mouse Deer. You can go now.” Mouse
deer ran quickly out of sight. Tiger then took a big mouthful of the ‘cake’. “Phoooey!”
He spit it out. “yuck, that’s not cake. That’s bufallo’s dung.”

Tiger ran through the forest. He caught up with Mouse Deer. “Mouse Deer, you
tricked me. But now you will be my lunch.” Mouse deer looked around and saw a wasp
nest in a tree. “I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch now. The King has ordered me to
guard his drum.” Said Mouse Deer calmly. “His drum?” said Tiger curiously. “Yes.
There it is. It has the best sound in the world. The King doesn’t’ want anyone else to hit
it.” Mouse Deer pointed the wasp nest. “Can I hit The King’s drum?” Tiger asked. “Of
course you can’t. the King would be very angry.” Said Mouse Deer refused. “Just one
little hit Mouse Deer! The King will never know.” Said Tiger. “Well, all right, Tiger . But
first let me run far away, so the King won’t blame me.” Said Mouse Deer. “all right
Mouse Deer. You can go now.” Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight. Tiger then reached
up and hit the wasp nest. Bzzzzzzz…!”Ouch…ouch! That’s not a drum. That a wasp
nests!”

Tiger ran away. But The wasps keep following him. He came to the river. He
jumped in and stayed under water as long as he could. At last the wasps went away. Then
he jumped out. He ran through the forest till he found Mouse Deer. “Mouse Deer, you
tricked me again. But now you will be my lunch.” Mouse Deer looked around and saw a
cobra. The snake was coiled asleep on the ground. “I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your
lunch now. The King has ordered me to guard his belt” said Mouse Deer calmly. “His
Belt?” said Tiger curiously. “Yes. There it is. Irt’s the best belt in the world. The King
doesn’t want anyone else to wear it.” Mouse Deer pointed the cobra. ”Can I wear it?”
Tiger asked. “Of Course you can’t. The King would be very angry. Said Mouse Deer
refused. “Just for one moment. Mouse Deer! The King will never know.” Said tiger.
“Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so the King won’t blame me.” Said
Mouse deer. “All right, Mouse Deer. You can go now.” Mouse Deer ran quickly out of
sight. Tiger than took the snake and started to warp it around himself. The cobra woke
up. It squeezed tiger and bit him. SSssssstt! “Ouch!Ow! Ooow! That’s not a belt! That’s a
cobra! Help! Mouse deer help!” But Mouse Deer was already far away. He laughed
aloud. Mouse Deer was safe from tiger now.
