Tigger

A large tiger was swaggering through the forest. Above his head, a small bird danced from branch to branch, singing. The tiger stopped and watched him. Then he called out:
"What do you have to dance and sing about, you puny being?
I am a thousand times larger than you. I can crush you in one paw, without even trying!
"Can you do this?" replied the bird, hopping lightly from one branch to another.
"Of course I can! roared the tiger. "Anything
you can do, I can do better!" He leaped onto the trunk, climbed high into the tree, then jumped out onto a branch. With a loud crack, it broke beneath his weight. So did the branches below it, all the way down. Ever so slowly, the bruises, rumpled tiger rose to his feet and staggered away.
