One day, as I was in my field and my buffalo was grazing 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, but I told it I left my wisdom at home that day. 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 and said that it was my wisdom and burned the tiger. The tiger escaped, but it still has black stripes from the burns today.
