In the middle of the forest, where the animals lived, there was a field. In this field, there was a large pear tree. It was full of pears-big, yellow pears that were ready to eat. But none of the animals could eat the pears because, there was a tiger under the pear tree. He didn’t want to eat the pears because, of course, tigers don’t eat fruit! But he also didn’t want the other animals to eat the pears. When the monkeys tried to come near the tree, the tiger made a terrible sound. “Stay away or I’ll eat you up!” he shouted.
