​How the Tiger Got Its Stripes

Adapted from Wonders

1 A long time ago, a large tiger crept through the jungle, searching for food. This was the time when tigers’ coats were still a solid orange color. As the tiger, who did not have markings of any kind, snuck to the edge of the jungle, he spotted a man eating his lunch underneath a tree. Nearby, a water buffalo with a plow attached to its massive shoulders munched on some grass.

2 The tiger studied the man and the water buffalo for a long time. Finally, he skulked through the long grass, keeping his head low, until he was directly beside the water buffalo.

3 “Good afternoon, my friend,” the tiger whispered to the water buffalo from the long grass. When the water buffalo turned to flee, the tiger quickly added, “Do not worry, for I come not to feed but to ask you a question. I am curious to know more about that man sitting underneath the tree.”

4 “What do you want to know?” the water buffalo asked, eyeing the tiger suspiciously.

5 “He is your master, is he not?” the tiger purred. “How did that come to be? I look at the man’s arms and legs and see no strength or real power. He does not have sharp teeth or claws, or a good sense of smell or hearing. Yet when I look at you, you are a great beast of impressive size and power. You are considerably larger than the man, and, examining your great horns, I know that you can hold your own against me or any other predators in the jungle. So, tell me, how is it that this man controls you and other animals like you?”

6 As the tiger spoke, he thought of the real reason he had approached the water buffalo: he wanted the same power that the man had because he wanted to rule every animal in the world.

7 The water buffalo munched thoughtfully on some grass before answering, “He has wisdom. I have no idea what that means, so you should probably ask the man.”

8 Annoyed, the tiger unleashed a thunderous roar and leapt out of the tall grass, landing beside the man in a single bound. The man spit out his lunch in surprise.

9 “Be still, my friend,” the tiger rumbled, laying a giant paw on the man’s trembling shoulder. “I come not to feed but to find an answer to my question. What is wisdom? Is it something you eat or wear or carry around with you? And will you please share some of it with me?”

​10 Although the tiger had said he had not come to feed, the man could hear the ferocious animal’s stomach rumbling like thunder, so he knew his answer had better be a good one.

11 “Wisdom is indeed something I would gladly share with you, but I did not bring enough with me today,” the man said. “If I had known you were coming to visit, I would have happily brought more with me, so let me go back to my village and bring some wisdom back for you.”

12 The tiger thought for a moment and then replied, “Go and fetch some wisdom, but be quick. I am curious, but I am also hungry, and soon my hunger may be stronger than my curiosity.”

13 “In that case, I am now worried about leaving a hungry tiger in the middle of my animals,” the man said, gesturing to the water buffalo and his other animals in the field. “Allow me to tie you to this tree with this rope before I run back to my village.”

14 Worried that the man would change his mind about giving him his wisdom, the tiger agreed, watching as the man picked up a long rope from the mud and tied the tiger to the tree, wrapping the dirty rope around his body and legs. Then, without a word, the man gathered the water buffalo and his animals and walked back to his village, leaving the tiger bound to the tree. It took days for the embarrassed tiger to chew through the ropes to escape. The muddy rope had left dark lines where it had held him.
