A Man walking across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger chasing after him. Coming to a cliff, he caught hold of a wild vine and swung himself over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Terrified, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger had come, waiting for him to fall and eat him. Two mice, one black and the other white, little by little, began to gnaw away at the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping at the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!
