One sunny morning a clever young deer was sitting in the forest watching bees flying in and out of their big nest hanging from a tree. He was so happy in the warm sun that he did not know a tiger was walking towards him very quietly
l am going to eat you " said the tiger, seizing the deer.
the deer was very clever, so he thought of a trick.
"Of course, you can eat me, but would you let me do one thing first?
I have to beat the queen's drum " he pointed to the bees' nest. " it is a very important job I have to do once a year."
"why does the queen ask you to beat the drum for her?" The tiger asked. He was angry. "I am better than you. You are only a deer, but I am a tiger. I should beat the drum. I will beat the drum today
