THE MOUSEDEER AND THE TIGER

One day while a mousedeer was walking in the forest, he saw a big, black snake sleeping under the tree. When he saw the snake, the mouse deer was frightened. When he wanted to run away from the snake, he suddenly fell on top of a tiger which was sleeping not far from the snake. The tiger woke up and took hold of the mousedeer. He told the mousedeer that he was going to eat him for lunch. " Please don't eat me now," said the mousedeer." I have something important to do."

"Look," said the mousedeer. " That is the king's belt. He asked me to stay here and watch it while he was away in the forest". The tiger
looked at the snake and said," That is a beautiful belt. I need a belt like that. Can I wear it?" he asked the mousedeer.

"Oh all right," said the mousedeer. So he picked up the snake and winded it around the tiger. Then the snake woke up and saw the tiger. The snake twisted itself tighter and tighter, until the tiger couldn't breathe. The tiger asked the mousedeer to help him. But the mousedeer turned and ran away into the forest.
