OTF Honorable Mention: TIGER’S LUCKY DAY

By: Kingsley Wong

A tiger was strolling in a jungle looking for some prey. It was the tiger’s lucky day. It peered through some long blades of grass, and saw a deer, drinking water in a pond. It sneaked behind the deer and got ready to pounce. “HONKKK”!, the deer snorted. It leapt into the pond and began to swim away. Tiger jumped into the water, and began to silently swim behind the deer. He looked up and the deer had got out of the water, and it was running towards a big spiky pink tree. Tiger thought “it is way too small for me to fit in. I shall wait until it comes out”. Tiger made a leafy bed, and snoozed off.

Deer was looking at the tiger while it was sleeping. It thought ‘I shall walk to the other side of this big tree and run away.” Deer walked to the other side of the tree and got ready to run.

RUUNNNNNNNNN

Unfortunately, Deer stepped on a twig and it made a sound. The tiger noticed and woke from its slumber. It sprinted after the juicy deer, and was almost upon it when…

HONKKKKKKKKKKK

Tiger was blown off its paws by this sound. I quickly scanned the area for the deer, but it didn’t find it. It found a big gray blob. “Elephant”, Tiger thought happily. Tiger raced through

the grass and bit the Elephant in the flank.

HONKKKKKKKKKKK

The Elephant was dead. It dropped down onto the floor, and Tiger quickly started to make his meal. He ate and ate, until he was full of elephant meat.
