| The Tigress | ||
|
He is the animal trainer makes even the fiercest of fierce animals crawl, jump, stand on hind legs just by the crack of his whip. He puts his head between the dangerous teeth of the tiger pats his appreciation waits in anticipation of applause. This tigress that roamed the deep jungle, terror of the forest, now sits cross-legged in front of him. Is she a tigress or what? Someone once asked her about it. She just smiled and brought out her long sharp nails hidden well under her paws and scratched her head.
