Howard was dressed in his safari outfit,
complete with a beige safari hat, kaki shorts with a light brown belt, a kaki
button down short-sleeved shirt and a leather satchel containing his most
prized possessions. As he walked through the jungle in India he was on high
alert for a tiger that would be on the hunt for its next meal. After wandering
the hot, sticky jungle for a while he decides to sit down near a stream and
have himself a nice chocolate bar. As he was finishing his chocolate bar he
heard something out of the ordinary. He stood up to assess his surroundings and
found himself locking eyes with an adult white bangle tiger. He started to
slowly back away from the regal animal but every one step he took back the
tiger took two forward. Howard found himself backed against a rock wall. He was
literally stuck between a rock and a hard place. He was clutching his leather
satchel for his life. The tiger was now a whisker away. Just as Howard thought
the tiger was going to pounce, he closed his eyes, fell to his knees and
started to pray. Then Howard felt a big, scratchy tongue run across his face.
He knew this was it. Then the tiger started purring and rubbing its face
against Howards cupped hands. Howard opened his wet eyes and realized what was
happening. He then started to scratch the tiger behind its ears and the tiger
plopped down right on top of Howard. The tiger then fell asleep from being in
the hot sun too long, and so did Howard. When Howard woke up at sunset the
tiger was gone and he never saw him again.
