-Writer: ...The tiger wanted to know why the strong
buffalo was the servant and the small man
was the master…

A tiger / want / see / it…
-> …I told the tiger that I had something called
wisdom. The tiger wanted to see it…
-Writer : …but he left it at home that day…he tied
the tiger to a tree with a rope because he
didn’t want it to eat the buffalo…

then I / tie / tiger / tree / rope / I / didn’t /
want / eat / buffalo…
-> …I told it I left the wisdom at home. Then I
tied the tiger to a tree with a rope because

Writer:..the farmer brought some straw with him. He said
it was his wisdom. He lit the straw and the fire
burned the tiger. The tiger escaped, but it still
has black stripes from the burns to day.

Farmer: I / go / get / straw / and / burn / tiger /
Tiger / escape / still have / black
-> … I went to get some straw that I said was my
wisdom and I burned the tiger. The tiger escaped,
but to day it still has black stripes from the burns.
6.Imagine you are the farmer. Retell the story.

I / told / I / left / wisdom / at home. Then I / tied / tiger / a tree / a rope…
