Description
This lively folk tale from India explains why tigers eat their food uncooked and why cats live with people. A young tiger child is sent to fetch more fire from the village, but his journey is interrupted by his friends.
By the time he arrives at the village, he has forgotten what he was sent to fetch. The story of the tiger child offers a unique insight into the lives of these fascinating animals and their place in Indian culture.
