'A leak?' the tiger thought. 'What is a leak? It must be
very dangerous and strong or the woman would not be more frightened of the leak
than of me. Am I not rightly called the king of the forest? Aren't they all
afraid of me? I wonder what a leak looks like . . . ?
Soon afterwards the tired tiger fell asleep. He was
suddenly awakened by an angry voice shouting in his ear. He felt heavy blows
fall upon his head and shoulders.
