A man was crossing a field where a tiger was sleeping. Having discovered the tiger, the man ran as fast as he could. The tiger is behind him. Running to the cliff, the man began to climb the slope, grabbed the root of a wild vine and hung on it. The tiger snorted at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down. There was another tiger standing there.
Only the root of the vine held the unfortunate man. Two mice, one white, the other black, crawled out of the hole and slowly began to gnaw on the root. Surrounded by dangers on all sides, the man began to look around and saw nearby a strawberry bush with one single ripe berry. Holding the root with one hand, he reached out with the other and picked a strawberry.
How sweet she was!
