How I met a tiger

It was a moonlit night. But still it was very dark in the forest. I was all alone in there, with my friends nowhere in sight. The forest was near my grandparent’s village. Just today morning had my grandmother warned me not to go alone to the forest because there was a tiger on the prowl. The forest was almost cut up and the tiger had lost its home.
I hadn’t actually disobeyed my grandmother. I had gone out with my friends; one older than me and the others younger. They all knew the jungle like the back of their hands. It was like they could safely cross it blind fold. But I couldn’t. I was just a visitor. We had been playing hide and seek when suddenly I lost track of them. I wandered for some time wondering where the others were. By then it had darkened and I couldn’t find the way home.
Then suddenly I heard a distant roar. I cautiously looked around fearing for my life. Where was I to go in this darkness?  Should I climb a tree? I glanced about but I couldn’t find any trees suitable for me to climb up. Then I heard a twig crack and something glittering green among the bushes a few feet away shone like marbles reflecting light. Oh no! The tiger’s eyes!  It was quite near.  Maybe it had come near the village seeking revenge!
I had no chance of escape. It could easily outrun me. I lost my voice in fear. The tiger slowly moved into sight growling. Was it a man eater?  What would happen to me now? All kinds of horrible thoughts flashed through my mind.  Here I was lost in the jungle at night and facing an angry tiger!
I was cornered near a tree. Suddenly the tiger pounced upon me and started shaking me. I let up a horrible scream but it didn’t come out properly. And I closed my eyes waiting for the sharp bite to come tearing me to pieces.
But then nothing of that sort happened. It was only shaking me and I slowly peeped out of my half opened eyes. What a relief! I was delighted at what I saw. It was my mother smiling down at me. Thank God it was only a dream! I smiled back at my mother and said”I am glad it’s only you mom!”
“Then who did you think it was?” Asked my mother “A tiger? “

Thats it….Did You like it?
