1. A TRAVELLER'S TALE

It happened many years ago. I was in India. I was hunting there. Once I spent the whole

day in the jungle. It had got completely dark when I decided to return to my camp. I was

walking along a narrow path. Strange sounds were heard everywhere. On my right there

was a river and on my left there was a thick tropical forest.

Suddenly I saw something terrible in the jungle on my left. Two green eyes were

looking at me. It was a man-eating tiger, ready to spring on me.

I knew that if I started to ran the tiger would catch me easily. As I could swim well I

made щ my mind to escape that way. I looked at the river on my right. There in the

river was a huge crocodile. It was waiting for me with open jaws.

I fainted. A moment later I jumped to my feet again. What do you think I saw? The tiger

was in the jaws of the crocodile.

Five years have passed since that time but I still remember every moment of that terrible

night.
