Hello, this is Jana, and I'm here with an ancient story from India.

It features a variety of characters, including a tiger, a buffalo, a tree and a road.

Yes, that is an unusual collection.

It starts with the tiger and a man who has led a soft and sheltered life.

The gentleman who set a tiger free.

A long time ago in the jungle, a tiger was caught in a trap.

It was like a wooden cage that dropped down from a tree and caught him tight.

He wiggled and jiggled, but those bars wouldn't budge. Eventually, a gentleman came strolling down the forest path,

humming a happy tune and twirling a walking stick.

He had a kind face and a soft heart,

perhaps a little too soft.

The tiger's ears heard this happy tune.

Oh good sir,

he called out putting on his most pitiful voice.

Please, please help me.

I'm stuck in this dreadful cage.

If you let me out,

I'll be your friend for life.

I'll follow you like a dog.

I'll guard your house.

I'll give up meat

and I'll only eat vegetables.
