Watch Out! The Tiger is Here!

Sejal Mehta

It's not easy being a tiger.
Yes, tigers are beautiful and fierce.

But tigers are also big and heavy.
This makes it difficult for them to hunt for food.

Out of every twenty times a tiger hunts,
it eats only once.

When a tiger moves through the forest,
KHAU! KHAU! KHAK!
The langur calls, just like an old man coughing!
KHAU! KHAU! KHAK!

AWOOOO! HAWOOOO!
The barking deer calls, like a scared dog!
AWOOOO! HAWOOOO!

OOW! OOW! OOW!
The spotted deer calls, like a little bird!
OOW! OOW! OOW!

The whole forest knows the tiger is here!
AHUUUN? AHUUUN?
The tiger wonders, where has everyone gone?
