- Tiger said - "Just take care of the householders. To guard the bungalow. If a thief-bandit comes at night, pierce ... pierce ... to wake everyone up
A K Seth kept a dog to protect himself and the bungalow. Everyone in the house called him Tiger. Two years had passed since Tiger was killed. He knew every member of the household well. In the first year, he was allowed to walk around the bungalow with a belt around his neck. One or two days a week, Seth's son would go out to kill the bulls. The next year, he would open the belt and let me walk around the bungalow. Once the tiger did not appear at noon. Seth's son saw him with two other street dogs at the Society's nose. He went there. Seeing him, Tiger came back to the bungalow. This happens often.
Street dogs coming to meet Tiger. But if anyone noticed, they would leave. Seth took good care of Tiger there. It was good to eat and drink. A man would come to bathe her and take care of her body. So in two years, Tiger was confused.
Once during the day, while Tiger was resting in his 'dog house' in the bungalow, a dog-van of the municipal corporation came and caught seven or eight stray street dogs from the surrounding society. Since then the barking of dogs at night has also diminished.
Late the next night a dog came to meet him outside Tiger's bungalow. Tiger also went out to meet him. Tiger understood. The dog was left alone as other dogs were caught. The body was weakened. "All my comrades were caught," he said. I don't like without them. Good for you Seth feeds, drinks, bathes ... '' So Tiger said to him - '' If only Tanay could get such an opportunity! '' Pella said - '' Really! But what should I do? '' Then Tiger said - '' Just take care of the family. To guard the bungalow. If a thief-bandit comes at night, pierce ... pierce ... to wake everyone up. To protect them. Our Sethe has taken another bungalow. If you say so, I will arrange for you there. "
''like this? Can that happen? ”The street dog was happy. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like Tiger aint for me either. There was a round scar on his neck. He immediately asked - "What is this scar around your neck?"
'' This stain! ..Nothing ... nothing ... I think you're talking about a scar on your neck. "
"Does your seth tie you up with a belt?" He asked. Then Tiger said - "Yes, he wears a belt all day. But what happens? I'm gigantic! The very next week after I bought it, I was bitten by one of their annoying guests. It doesn't happen again so it keeps me tied up with a chain ... but, it takes a lot of care of me. Eating well ... taking a bath with soap ... ''
"Just ... just ... Tiger, I understand. Congratulations on your meal. Even if I get to eat dry bread, I am free. I have no obligation. I can go anywhere, meet my distant friends. I am not a paratantra like you. I can't sell my freedom at any cost. I am like a bird flying in the sky. I don't like a cage. '
