Story 13. Touching the Tiger (I).
One day, a zookeeper discovered that the tiger in the zoo wasn't eating his food.
What could be wrong?
Just a day ago, the tiger was eating chickens happily.
Now, the tiger was having difficulty eating anything at all.
The zookeeper decided to see Dr. Wong.
He wanted the doctor to find out why the tiger had stopped eating.
After watching the animal for a while, Dr. Wong told the zookeeper that the tiger had something stuck in his throat.
What should we do? asked the zookeeper.
We have to do a surgery on the tiger, the doctor answered.
You mean that we have to open the tiger's mouth to get the thing out? asked the zookeeper, his eyes wide with fear.
Yes.
But how? the zookeeper wondered.
