A tiger fell over a 15 foot cliff into a crocodile
infested river.
He tried to climb back up the cliff, but each time
the cliff, made of dirt or clay, crumbled,
and he fell back into the river and tried
running in the shallow part of the river
to find a part of the cliff he could climb
to the top of the cliff on,
but he couldn’t get a grip on the cliff
and, tired, dropped back
into the river and into the jaws of the
hungry crocodiles that devoured the poor tiger.
