The Tiger and the Deer.
One day a tiger, who had grown remorseful over his murderous career,
resolved to turn over a new leaf and live on terms of friendly interest
with the other animals of the forest.
He started out on a campaign of pacification. The first animal he met was
the deer, whom he addressed in the most courteous and beautiful of
language, assuring him of his undying affection.
"Bunco!" yelled the deer, as he skipped away from there at the rate of ten
seconds in even time.
