Long long ago, there were no donkeys in central Guizhou,
until a fellow fond of novelties brought one there in his boat. Since no one
knew how to use a donkey, it was released into the woods.
Hearing a monster had arrived, the
tiger went to have a look at the new arrival. Seeing such an exotic animal with
its big ears and long legs, the tiger was scared. So he hid himself in the
trees, and peeked at the donkey in awe.
One day, all of a sudden, the donkey
yelped. The tiger was frightened into running far away, fearing that the monster
would eat him. However, the donkey didn't chase the tiger, but continued to
munch the grass as usual.
Several days later, after getting
used to the donkey's yelp, the tiger tried to get close to the donkey. But still
the donkey didn't turn and fight. When he saw the approaching tiger, he was so
angry that he only kicked him away.
Realizing the monster knew nothing
more than kicking, the tiger was so delighted that this time he jumped onto the
donkey and ate it.
