TIGER'S TALE

TIGER'S TALE

1. Tiger Tiger was not a very special cat. He had no particular talents and he lived nowhere in particular, but he could settle down anywhere. . . . anywhere at all.

He perched in tall trees beneath the stars. He snoozed on the hot tops of cars He lounged in sunny spaces in the park and prowled on rooftops in the dark. Yes. Tiger could settle anywhere.

But he did have his favourite places. One of them was the library. Every morning when the librarian arrived at work, she would find Tiger on the doorstep. She'd unlock the library door and he would pad in and make himself at home

The librarian liked Tiger. He helped to keep all her papers in place He helped to hold the door open. Sometimes he helped to keep out the cold winds. So the librarian was happy to have Tiger in the library.

And Tiger was happy to be in the library. It was cosy off the street. There were soft carpets and chairs to lie on. There were sunny spots to snooze in and he could listen to stories Sometimes the librarian read stories to the children Sometimes the children read stories to each other. Some of the children read stories to themselves
