with the help of his buffalo.

buffalo working. The tiger was surprised to
see a big animal listening to a small animal.
He wanted to know more about the buffalo
and the man.
After the man went home, the tiger spoke to
the buffalo. “You are so big and strong, Why
do you do everything the man tells you?”
“Oh, the man is very intelligent.”
So the next day the tiger said to the man.
“Can I see your intelligence?” But the man
answered, “It’s at home.” “Can You go and
get it?” asked the tiger. “Yes,” said the man,
