he situationwasfrightening. Mr. Buffalo was also sad.
Yesterday, his eldest son had become Mr. tMhite's meal.
Suddenly, they heard Mr. SThite's roar. It meant
:'r:.:; that he was hungty andwanted fresh meat fromthe jungle inhabitants for his meal. His roar
made all the animals frightened. All ofthem ran quickly into their
houses. But they heard an
everr louder roar."F{i, my people!
Have you prepared
ftesh meat forme? I am veryhungry today!"said l\ft. lfhitewith a thundering
foat.
1l of the animals were getting more frightened. Finally, they drewlots to determine whose family should become Mr. White's meal. Each family
head took turns to select a piece of paper.
Mr. Porcupine got the f:nst turn.' "Go d, guide my hand so that I won't be-come the uictim,"pnyedhim before taking thep^per.
Fortunately, he got blank paper.
"Thank you God. You answered my pta)rer," he
whispered.
Mr. Rat got the second turn. He walkedfrm/t."My beloved comrades. I am willing to take my chance.
Let the arrogant tiger eat my body. I will poison mybody so that he will be poisoned and die," he
said.
Aftet taking his chance, he opened itgot blank paper. He was very disap
inted andhe threw awq the paper.
He was not able to take reaenge against the. Then, he sat orr a storie watching his
iends queaeing to take the lots.f1
Time flew. Mr. Goat's turn car\e.
"My dearest friends. If it is my turn to be eaten, my descendant will be
extinct. For the sake of lustice, however, I will take my tufn," said Mr- Goat before
taking the paper.He took the paper slowly. He opened it with hts heart beating. He was very
shocked when he read'EATEN" on his paper. Mr. Goat bleated andran back-
ward and forward. His crying made all the
animals deeply sad. Poor Mr. Goat!
Suddenly Mr. Cat stePPed forwardcourageously.
"My beloved comrades, stop
crying! Let me take Mr.Goat's place. I am veryold. Moreover, my fam-ily has not had their turnyet. I rcally want to take
awry Mr. Goat's bad /ack,"he said with a loud voiceand hunbly.
"No, Mr. Cat. Though you did not get your turfl, I am sure that you will get itsomeday. Don't you realize that all of us are waiting to be eaten and to beextinct?" argued Mr. Snake who sat near him.
Soon, they tied Mr. Goat's legs with ratt^n. He was brought to the middle ofthe jungle where Mr. \flhite lived and was waiting for his victim. Having seenthe goat, he showed his strong and big frbnt teeth. Not far from hirn, a lot ofantmal bones'were scattered on the grass.
"Put the goat in front of me quickly! I cannot bear to wait any Ionger,"Mr. Sfhite shoated.
They put Mr. Goat in front of Mr. Tiger quickly and ran ^w^y.
Mr. Squirrel,on lhe other hand, watched from a shady tree. FIe thought hard about how to saveMr. Goat.
"Hm. What a delicious meal I have today," Mr. !flhite laughed. Again, hegrinned and showed his strong and sharp teeth.

The words made Mr. S7hite sad. He regretted his eail deed. He sobbed and cried."Release me, please! I promise not to eat atimals anymore."
Mr. Squirrel and his friends kept silent for a moment. In their heart, theytook pity on Mr. \X{hite.
"It is too bad for aX, of us to let anyone suffer," said Mr. Horse.'lWhat do you think, then, Mr. Horse?" asked Mr. Cow.'1We11. I think we must release Mr. White. He has promised not to e^t an7-

Monkey.
"Thank you my dearest friends. You arc really kind. I swear that I won't ki1l

Mr. \7hite looked at his body after all the r^ttanwas untied. He saw serious
wound.s on his body. Unfortunately, his body was scarredby the stripes forever.
Since then, Mr. \White was called Mr. Stripe by all of the iungle inhabitants.

broke his promise totally. He did not know how to show gratitude.
