The title of the story I am going to tell is 'a tiger which always thinking of an idea'. Long long ago, there was a tiger which lived in a forest near the river. One day, he went out to find food. He walked in the forest to find meal for him. He kept walking and reached near the river. Although he was finding his food for a long time, he couldn't get any meal. While he was walking along the river, the water level had suddenly risen. Then he was floating down the river. He was dragging away by the water. Then, he reached to a sandy island. He got stuck there. When he looked around the island, there wasn't any meal that he could eat. He was so depressed. "If I can't escape from this island, I will not have any meal to eat. I should do something. I have to think of an idea how to escape from here," the tiger thought to himself. After thinking for a while, he got an idea that he would do fasting. Then, he sat somewhere as he was doing fasting. He sat on the sand without moving a bit. While he was sitting there, the water level was rising too. At that time, a barking deer was floating along the river too. The deer ran aground on the land just beside the tiger. The tiger was meditating without even moving a bit. When the deer walked near him, he really wanted to catch and eat that deer. Then, he thought, "I will just move the date to do fasting." When he moved and walked towards the deer, the deer was scared and jumped into the river where she was floating along. Then, the deer could escape him successfully. The tiger thought, "Now, the deer escaped from me. Let me just do fasting!" So, he was sitting there. He was starving. At that moment, another small tiger was floating down the river and ran aground there. That small tiger was floating down there. That tiger also ran aground just beside him. But he didn't move a bit as he was doing fasting. He was just sitting there. And he was thinking an idea of how to do to cat that tiger. The little tiger asked him, "Hey! What are you doing there?" He answered, "I am meditating to be free from all of my sins." Then, she thought to herself, "If you say like that, I am sure you are thinking of a plan to do something." But she said, "Oh, that's good." She continued, "Then, I will also do like you." They both were thinking of an idea. They both did fasting. They both were thinking to themselves, "What will run aground here again?" They waited for that. But there was nothing floating down there. There was no meal for them on the island. So, they two were trying to trick each other because they wanted to eat meat. A few days later, they both were starving very much. Then, the first tiger thought, "I will lie to her that I do fasting. Then I will eat her." The second tiger also thought, "I will lie to him that I do fasting. And I will catch and eat him." The first tiger was so hungry and couldn't endure it anymore. So, he stood up and walked around. And there was a big pit near them. Then, he walked there by bending his head down. He looked inside the pit whether something might come out. He sat beside the pit. While he was sitting just beside it, the second tiger was sitting on its place and didn't move a bit. She was thinking of an idea. But the first tiger couldn't wait and wanted to eat her badly. So, he kept walking back and forth and looked inside the pit again. He walked by bending his head down again. And he sat near the pit. The second tiger was looking at him. At that moment, he was repeating what he did previously. He went near the pit and looked inside it. This time, he didn't sit. He just stood there. Then, the second tiger thought to herself, "May be something is coming out from there. He is not sitting like before." She went near him and pretending like she was looking inside the hole too. She was slowly pushing his head to go inside more and more. Then, she immediately pushed him into the hole. And she killed him by beating up with the stone. Actually, the inner part of the pit was a little bit bigger. The first tiger was dead. The second tiger quickly went inside the pit and scratched him. She ate the first tiger till she was full. "I am so full now. I will go back to my place happily. And the water level is also decreased," she thought after eating. With a happy thought, she tried to go back home. But she couldn't go out because she was so full and got stuck. She couldn't jump out from the hole. She thought, "I will take a nap here to let my stomach be flat." While she was sleeping inside it, a stream near the land was suddenly flowing over the pit. The pit where she was inside was filled with water. She was dead too. Finally, both of them were dead because they kept thinking of an idea to trick each other.
