🐯🍬 The Tiger and the Dried Persimmon

📜 Script 

NARRATOR:
One night, a hungry tiger came down from the mountain.
He saw a house with a cow in the yard.

🐯 TIGER (grinning):
“Mmm… I’ll eat that cow!”

NARRATOR:
He crept close.
But then—he heard crying!

Inside the house, a baby was wailing.

👩 MOTHER (gently):
“Don’t cry, baby. A tiger will hear you!”

NARRATOR:
But the baby kept crying.

Then the mother said:

👩 MOTHER:
“Look! Here comes a dried persimmon!”

NARRATOR:
Suddenly, the baby stopped crying!

🐯 TIGER (confused):
“What’s a dried persimmon?
It must be scarier than me!”

NARRATOR:
The tiger began to shake with fear.
He hid behind a tree.

NARRATOR:
Just then, a cow thief came quietly.
It was dark, and he didn’t see well.

He grabbed something furry—
It was the tiger’s leg!

🐮 THIEF (whispering):
“Yes! I got the cow!”

NARRATOR:
The tiger thought:
“The dried persimmon got me!!”

🐯 TIGER:
“Aaaaahhh!”

NARRATOR:
He roared and ran away—
so fast, the thief flew off his back!

NARRATOR (ending):
The next morning, the mother found her cow safe.

And the tiger?
He never came back again.

This story teaches us:
Even the mighty can be fooled by fear!
