Answer:
Once a Brahmin was passing through a forest when he came across a tiger caught in a trap.
“Oh pious Brahmin. Please let me out of this cage”, called the tiger to the Brahmin.
“Oh no, my friend!” replied the Brahmin. “If I did so, you would kill me and eat me.”
The tiger swore to not kill him, and promised he would be the Brahmin’s slave for his entire life. Listening to the tiger plead, the Brahmin’s heart softened and he released the tiger from the trap. The tiger immediately pounced on the man and cried, “What a fool you are! What is to prevent my eating you now.”The Brahmin pleaded for his life. The tiger granted that he would abide by the decision of the first three things the Brahmin chose to question as to the justice of the tiger’s action.
The Brahmin first asked a tree. “I give shelter to all who pass by, yet humans tear down my brothers for firewood. You’re a fool to expect gratitude!” replied the tree
