‘What does he want from me?’ the Tiger asked her companions later that night.

‘The simplest thing. He wants you to obey him.’

‘I had a man friend once.’

The old tigers roared with laughter.

‘Impossible! Humans either kill you or order you around. There is no other way.’

‘Learn to jump through a ring of fire, learn to sit down on cue, and your life will become a walk in the park,’ the oldest tiger advised her.

‘A walk…?’ echoed the Tiger, bewildered.

‘Yes,’ the others replied in unison. ‘Comfortable, easy and safe. Plenty of food and no danger.’

The Tiger remembered the scent of the taiga. That scent was the smell of freedom. She crouched in a corner of the cage and looked sadly at her companions.

That kind of talking wasn’t worthy of a tiger.
