The tiger broke the door and the children ran out the back door and climbed a tree next to the well. “How did you get in there?” the tiger demanded, looking at the reflection of the children in the well. The children laughed and said, “We are up here in the tree. If you want to climb up here, pour oil on the tree,” the boy said. “That makes it easy to climb.” The tiger ran off and found some oil. He covered the tree trunk with the oil, but the tree was now even more slippery. He fell to the ground. “How clever you are! I give up. But just tell me how did you really get so high up the tree?” the tiger said in a flattering way. “We took the axe,” the girl suddenly said proudly. “We chopped holes for our feet in the trunk of the tree,” the girl also added.
