“Oops, here I fall!” The tiger cub was trying to climb a tree but couldn’t make it to the top of the tree. Before he reached the top, the tiger kept falling. The tiger cub was disappointed and sad for not being able to climb the tree. He wanted to prove himself before other cubs.
A monkey, watching what the tiger cub was trying to do, decided to help the poor chap.
“Don’t lose heart, dear. Nobody wins the first attempt. It takes several attempts before you are successful. Listen to me, first try out a small tree before climbing a big one,” the monkey advised the tiger cub.
The tiger cub listened to what the monkey said and tried again to climb the tree, this time, a small tree. After several attempts, the cub climbed that small tree. There he was, at the top of the tree, proudly sitting on the branch of the tree. The cub was thrilled about his success.
“Now, you can try a big tree. Remember one thing, every tree is different. When you climb the next tree, first plan your route,” advised the monkey.
“Sure, bro. Thanks for your help, Mr. Monkey,” said the cub. The cub stayed there on the tree branch and started sleeping. When the tiger’s mother came after her hunting, she was worried. “Where is my child?” she looked around.
“Hey, Mom, I am here, on the top of this tree,” said the tiger cub. The mother cub looked above and saw her son. “Wow, you made it! You proved to yourself that you are a real tiger. Now, it’s time for you to independently hunt,” said the mother tiger, proudly looking at her son. The tiger cub was happy.
