Carl walked te a clearing
and cut a large bundle of

ass. He started to walk

shuffle of leaves. Behind
him was the padding of
footsteps on dry grass.
Swiftly, Carl turned around.
That's when he saw it, the

tiger. Fear engulfed poor
Carl and, dropping the
grass, he took off like a

tripped over a stump, the
tiger pounded on him, his
teeth tearing into Carl's

afternoon siesta.

At home Carl's mother
was becoming frantic. "Carl
should have been back by
now,” she thought. “Where
could he be?”

hoping Carl may have
stopped there. She dashed
into the building, and seeing
Sister Mary, asked if she
hadseen Carl in the last half
hour or so. The answer was
negative and with her hopes
smashed, Carl’s mother ran
