How the tiger got his stripes

One day, as I was in the field and my buffalo was grazing / grazed nearby, a tiger came.

It asked why the strong buffalo was my servant and why I was its master.

I told the tiger that I had something called wisdom.

The tiger wanted to see it.

I told it I left my wisdom at home.

Then I tied the tiger to a tree with a rope because I didn’t want it to eat my buffalo.

I went to get some straw that I said was my wisdom and burned the tiger.

The tiger escaped but it still has black stripes from the burns today.
