Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Today my story is~

Mouse Deer and Tiger

“I’m quick and smart as I can be. Try and try, but you can’t catch me!”

Mouse Deer sang his song as he walked through the forest. He was looking for tasty fruits. He knew that many big animals wanted to eat him, but first they had to catch him!  Then he heard something. [Rowr!] There was Tiger!

“Hello, Mouse Deer. I was just getting hungry. Now you can be my lunch.”

He looked around and thought fast. He saw a mud puddle.

“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his pudding. It has the best taste in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to eat it.”

“I would like to taste the King’s pudding.”

“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just one little taste, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But please let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine! The King’s pudding!”

Tiger took a big mouthful.

[Phooey]

He spit it out.

“Yuck! Ugh! Bleck! That’s no pudding. That’s mud!”

Tiger ran through the forest.

[Rowr!]

He caught up with Mouse Deer.

“Mouse Deer, you tricked me once. But now you will be my lunch!”

Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a wasp nest in a tree.

“I’m sorry, tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his drum. It has the best sound in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to hit it.”

“I would like to hit the King’s drum.”

“Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just one little hit, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But please let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine! The King’s drum!”

Tiger reached up and hit it.

[POW!] [Bzzzzzzzzzzz]

The wasps all flew out. They started to sting Tiger.

“Ouch! Ouch! Eech! That’s no drum. That’s a wasp nest!”

Tiger jumped into a stream. [Splash!] until the wasps went away. Then Tiger jumped out. [Rowr!] He ran through the forest till he found Mouse Deer.

“Mouse Deer, you tricked me twice. But now you will be my lunch!”

Mouse Deer looked around and thought fast. He saw a sleeping cobra!

“I’m sorry, Tiger. I can’t be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his belt. It’s the best belt in the world. The King doesn’t want anyone else to wear it.”

“I would like to wear the King’s belt.”

“Oh, no Tiger! The King would be very angry.”

“Just for one moment, Mouse Deer! The King will never know.”

“Well, all right, Tiger. But please let me run far away, so no one will blame me.”

“All right, Mouse Deer, you can go now.”

Mouse Deer ran quickly out of sight.

“Imagine! The King’s belt!”

Oops! The cobra woke up. [Ssssssssssssssssss] It wrapped itself around Tiger. [Sstt]

“Ooh! Ow! Yow! That’s no belt. That’s a cobra! Help! Mouse Deer! Help!”

But Mouse Deer was far away. And as he went, he sang his song.

“I’m quick and smart as I can be. Try and try, but you can’t catch me!”

Thank you for listening.
