Little Tiger and Little Goat
故事全文
Once upon a time, a little tiger met a little goat, and they played happily together all day. When evening came, they reluctantly said goodbye to each other. When Little Tiger got home, he told Mama Tiger about his new friend. Mama Tiger said angrily, "Silly child, goats are our prey! How could you play with him?" Little Tiger asked, "What should I do, mama?" Mama Tiger said, "You should ask Little Goat to come out and play with you tomorrow, then you should kill him and bring him back to our den. This is what tigers do!" Little Tiger nodded his head.
At the same time, Little Goat got home and told Mama Goat about his new friend. Mama Goat bleated and said fearfully, "Dear child, you cannot play with tigers. They are our enemy!" Little Goat said sadly, "But we had such a good time playing together!" Mama Goat said, "When Little Tiger asks you to come out and play tomorrow, he will surely want to have you for dinner! If you see him, you should run away immediately. This is what goats do." Little Goat nodded his head.
The next day, Little Tiger came to Little Goat's house and shouted, "Hello Little Goat! Come out and play!" Little Goat stayed inside and yelled, "My mother said I cannot come play with you, so, I cannot come out." Little Tiger had no choice but to go home. When Mama Tiger saw him, she asked, "Where is Little Goat?" Little Tiger replied, "Little Goat already knows what I want to do, so he will not play with me anymore."
