• The Tale of the Tiger's Stripes Jul 23, 2025

  

  Long ago, in the early days when the world was still young and animals could speak with humans as equals, the tiger was the most magnificent and feared creature in all the Vietnamese forests. His coat was a beautiful golden-orange color, unmarked by any stripes or spots, and he was immensely proud of his smooth, perfect fur and his reputation as the undisputed king of all wild beasts.

  The tiger’s strength was legendary – he could leap across wide rivers, break thick trees with his powerful paws, and his roar could be heard for miles around, sending all other animals fleeing in terror. But along with his impressive physical abilities, the tiger possessed an enormous ego and looked down upon all other creatures, especially humans, whom he considered weak and insignificant.
