Bharat Mata ki Jay!

Welcome to my blog.

Here is a story for you - the story of mankind and the wild.

Tiger and Villagers

A long time ago somewhere in India - Ancient Bharat, in the vicinity of a dense forest, there was a village. Relation between the villagers and the wildlife of the forest was very good.

One day a tiger cub was found by some children of that village and then brought to the village. The tiger cub was alone, so villagers decided to keep it with other farm animals. They named the cub Sheru. Sheru was growing day by day like other farm animals. Sheru liked to play pranks with villagers. All villagers were aware that Sheru is not harmful to them, but they all got fed up with his pranks. So they all decided to catch him and sell him.

So one day they all gathered with nets and ropes. Sheru was unaware of this plan. All the young villagers were on a mission to catch Sheru. He used to observe villagers from an old large banyan tree. After some time some women were going to the riverside, and at that time he heard a low growl and a very fierce-looking tiger leaped up into the tree alongside him and said, "I am hungry. These old people look skinny, but the children would be tasty."

Sheru was horrified by the other tiger. Sheru thought calmly for a while and said, "Wait for some time, young villagers will come back, and you will have a tasty hunt." The other tiger replied, "Ok, not a bad idea. I will wait for young villagers."

After some time women were back from the riverside and the fierce tiger was ready to leap on one of them to hunt. Suddenly Sheru said, "Wait, these women are not yummy and tasty, you must try the young men of this village."

The other tiger replied, "Ok! I will wait for plumper young men."

It was the time of sunset and the fierce tiger's tummy was rumbling. There was nothing to stop him. Sheru heard the sounds of men returning. the other tiger was very hungry, so he didn't noticed the nets and ropes with the young villagers. He leaped out of the tree. 

At first site, one of the villagers shouted, "We are not afraid of you, Sheru!" and they threw net on the fierce tiger and bundled him up and tied his paws together with the rope. One of the villagers yelled, "You are now in our control and we will sell you for good price."

Haring this Sheru realised that the villagers were planning of catching him. He felt sad and started crying. Sheru was a kind tiger and he never wanted to harm anybody. Sheru was ready to off to forest again and he came out of the banyan tree.

Villagers were confused as they caught the fierce tiger who was a man-eater and Sheru was free. Then they realised that the Sheru had saved the village from the man-eating fierce tiger. 

All villagers realised their mistake and came to know that Sheru is kind, fun-loving tiger and they all lived happily with Sheru. Thus Man and wild relations of that village again revived.
