Funny tale from Korea about a man who saves a tiger only to be almost eaten by that tiger. Good for lessons on prediction - What will happen if the man saves the tiger? How will he keep from being eaten? What will the other characters have to say?

seemed quite harsh for early readers. The plot drives the characters into a quite impractical way of dealing with their conflict, and then results in a moral that doesn't quite fit what the majority of teachers would advise their students to follow.
