The Bold Move

"Hssst!" hissed the long, spotted snake.

The big, orange tiger froze. When he looked back over his shoulder, he saw a very grumpy snake slithering right behind him. The snake looked like he wanted to cause some trouble!

Now, even for a brave tiger, facing a sneaky snake can be a little scary. The tiger knew he had to be very smart to get away safely. He didn't want to fight; he just wanted to keep walking under the bright, yellow sun.

Suddenly, the tiger had a "Bold Move" of an idea! He decided to play a funny trick.

Instead of running away, the tiger let out a tiny, silly "Meow!" and started chasing his own tail in circles. He spun around so fast that he looked like a giant orange fuzzy ball!

The snake was so confused. He had never seen a tiger act like a kitten before. The snake started laughing so hard that he forgot all about being grumpy. While the snake was busy giggling, the clever tiger gave a friendly wink and hopped away into the tall grass.

The tiger learned that sometimes, being silly is the best way to solve a tough problem!
