Once a tiger escaped from a circus and crossed a nearby village. When he was passing by a hut, he heard a woman talking to someone. She said, “I fear cloudburst, rainstorm or any kind of downpour the most. They are the mightiest.” The tiger thought that anything falling from sky must be the mightiest. As the tiger passed through the woods, someone fell on its back, suddenly. It was none other than Sheikh! The tiger thought of downpour and felt that the mightiest had fallen on its back and now it should carry him to show its strength. Sheikh realised that the tiger was carrying him calmly, and felt great! He rode it towards the market. Everyone present in the market ran here and there in fright. Sheikh’s mother fainted upon seeing Sheikh on a tiger. But our daydreamer Sheikh was enjoying the ride and the cool breeze, feeling like a king.
