The Tiger and the Deer
One day a tiger, who had grown remorseful over his murderous career, resolved to turn over a new leaf and live on terms of friendly interest with the other animals of the forest.
He started out on a campaign of pacification. The first animal he met was the deer, whom he addressed in the most courteous and beautiful of language, assuring him of his undying affection.
“Bunco!” yelled the deer, as he skipped away from there at the rate of ten seconds in even time.
IMMORAL:
It is useless to attempt to gain the good-will of suspicious characters.
