Once there was a farmer from Laos.
Every morning and every evening, he ploughed his field with his buffalo.
One day, a tiger saw the farmer and
his buffalo working in the field. The tiger was very surprised to see a big
animal listening to a small animal. The tiger wanted to know more about the big
animal and the small animal.
After the man went home, the tiger
spoke to the buffalo; “you are so big and strong. Why do you do everything the
man tells you?” The buffalo answered; “oh, the man is very intelligent”.
The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”. “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo; “but you can ask him”
The tiger asked; “can you tell me how intelligent he is?”. “No, I can’t tell you”, said the buffalo; “but you can ask him”
So the next day the tiger asked to
the man; “Can I see your intelligence?”. But the man answered; “it at home”.
“Can you go and get it?” asked the tiger. “Yes” said the man; “but I am afraid
you will kill my buffalo when I am gone. Can I tie you to a tree?”
After the man tied the tiger to the tree, he
didn’t go home to get his intelligence. He took his plough and hit the tiger.
Then he said; “Now you know about my intelligence even you haven’t seen it. Finally, the tiger knew how smart the human
is.
