Attacking tiger.

 

The Tiger

The Sultan Leopard is not afraid of his neighbour the tiger:
It is just a young cub.
He is forgetting that cubs grow up.

LE TIGRE

- Le léopard n’a pas peur de son voisin le tigre  :

Ce n’est qu’un bébé. Il oublie que les bébés grandissent.

TIGEREN

-Sultanen Leopard er ikke bange for sin nabo tigeren:
Det er jo blot en unge. Han glemmer bare, at unger vokser.

The Horse and the Tiger.

The Horse and the Tiger.

An old, sick tiger decided that he would have better luck
in his hunting if he was a fox!
If you can’t win, you can always cheat….
He saw a juicy horse in a field and thought…..
“Who wouldn’t like to have a doctor in their circle of friends?
If I wear a white coat and a stethoscope,
I’m sure the horse will have something to ask me!”
No sooner said than done.
“Oh Doctor,” said the horse, when he saw the tiger in disguise,
“It itches so badly under my right hoof.”
A sick, old, toothless tiger died of hunger.

Du Cheval et du Tigre.

- Un tigre, vieux et mal en point,
pensait qu’il améliorerait son tableau de chasse en jouant au renard !
Quand on ne peut pas gagner honnêtement,
il reste la ruse. Il vit un beau cheval bien en chair et juteux et pensa :
“Tout le monde veut avoir un médecin pour ami.
Si j’endosse une blouse blanche et accroche un stétoscope autour de mon cou,
sûr que le cheval aura quelque chose à me demander.
” Le tigre se déguisa donc.
“Docteur, dit le cheval, quand il vit le tigre dans son accoutrement,
j’ai une démangeaison terrible sous mon sabot droit…
” Un tigre, vieux, mal en point et édenté mourut de faim !

HESTEN og TIGEREN.

-En gammel og syg tiger fandt ud af at han ville have bedre jagtheld
hvis han var en ræv ! Når man ikke kan vinde, kan man altid snyde…
Han så en saftig hest på en mark, og tænkte:
”Hvem har ikke lyst til at have en læge i sin omgangskreds?
Med en hvid kittel og et stetoskop,
et jeg sikker på at hesten har noget at spørge mig om!
” Som sagt, så gjort. Hr. Doktor”, sagde hesten, da han så tigeren i forklædning,
“Det klør så frygteligt under min højre hov.”
En gammel, syg og tandløs tiger døde af sult.

The Heifer, the Goat and the Sheep in company with the Tiger

We shall share as tigers do:

1 share to the ruler
1 share to the tiger
1 share to the strongest
1 share to the greediest

So the tiger took the lot.

La Génisse, la Chèvre et la Brebis en société avec le Tigre.

- Quand un tigre partage le gibier, il y a une part pour chacun :

-1 pour le souverain

-1 pour le tigre

-1 pour le champion

-1 pour le glouton.

Les autres sont végétariens, de toute façon.

Watercolor – Odysseus’ Crew

Odysseus’ Crew

 

Odysseus’ crew were changed into animals.
By cunning the hero was able to change them back to their natural shape,
But who says that it is better to be a human than an animal?
Not Odysseus’ crew: they preferred their new shapes.

Watercolor – The sick Tiger and the Fox

The sick Tiger and the Fox

 

 

The tiger asks the animals to visit his sick bed. The fox does not come.
The other guests’ footprints all lead the same way, into the tiger’s belly.

Watercolor – The Tigress’s funeral

 

The Tigress’s funeral

 

It is immoral to flatter the dead.
To lie to the mourners about angels singing and salvation is disgusting.
But what should one do – when the widower is a tiger and you are a deer yourself?

The Tiger and the She-bear

 

When a mother loses her child it is a shame.
When a tigress loses her cub, it is definitely fate pursuing her.
But look at yourself, – maybe you are a tigress.

When the tiger asked around to find out how one should look at self-satisfaction,
the monkey told him about the two donkeys:

one praised the other because he was a donkey!
