In the heart of the jungle, Daddy the young boy looked at the sky. He wished to see a tiger.
He had heard stories of the majestic beasts from his grandpa. He wanted to see one up close.
Daddy put on his favorite white shirt, his lucky glasses, and a big smile. He was ready for adventure.
Quietly, he walked through the trees, listening to the sounds of the jungle, eyes wide with wonder.
A rustle in the bushes made him stop. Daddy's heart raced as he peeked through the leaves.
It was a small monkey, not a tiger. Daddy laughed and said, 'Hello, friend!'
The monkey jumped from tree to tree, as if inviting Daddy to follow. So he did!
They reached a clearing where the sun shone brightly. Daddy saw stripes but they were just shadows.
Suddenly, a roar filled the air! Daddy's heart leaped. Could it be a tiger nearby?
Carefully, he moved closer to the sound. His knees shook a little, but he was brave.
Daddy saw a tiger, but it wasn't big or scary. It was a tiny tiger cub, mewing softly.
The cub looked lost. Daddy knew he couldn't leave it alone. He would help it find its mommy.
Together with the monkey, Daddy and the tiger cub searched the jungle for the mommy tiger.
As the sun started to set, they heard a soft growl. There stood the mommy tiger, grateful and majestic.
