Autobiography of a tiger
I can still remember those good old times when I used to roam free in my forest home. But . . . now it doesn’t bear thinking about. It makes me cry to recall all those memories. To think of how there just about a thousand of us left in the wild. And how I was captured, tortured, and now . . . . in contrast to everything, they have completely diminished the little pride I had, by imprisoning and putting me on show!
I would assume a king’s attitude, and strut around the forest as if my word was command. Long naps during the day, and work at night. By work, I mean, I have to catch my own food. The plump deer and other animals always look so inviting when my stomach is growling. I used to stalk them, and then by the time they came to know . . . too late for them. I would pounce on my prey, and my hunger would be satisfied.
I, the mighty tiger, born in that grove of dry trees in the Savannah, am now a stock prisoner. I am hardly fed, and I really miss the jungle that I was so fond of. That was the only place that I had ever called home. With that, I have lost my friends, who were what I had ever called family. With them, the sweet memories, which were what I had ever known as happiness. You, and your mankind can enjoy your fortune, but then why can’t I?
