My father thought of the cat and knew this wasn't true. But of course he had too much sense to say so. MY FATHER THOUGHT OF THE CAT AND KNEW THIS WASN' TRUE BUT OF COURSE HE HAD TOO MUCH SENSE TO SAY SO
The deeper into the jungle he went the surer he was that something was following him, and then he thought he heard whispery noises on both sides of him as well as behind. He tried to run, but he tripped over more roots, and the noises only came nearer. Once or twice he thought he heard something laughing at him. At last he came out into a clearing and ran right into the middle of it so that he could see anything that might try to attack him. Was he surprised when he looked and saw fourteen green eyes coming out of the jungle all around the clearing, and when the green eyes turned into seven tigers! The tigers walked around him in a big circle, looking hungrier all the time, and then they sat down and began to talk. "I suppose you thought we didn't know you were trespassing in our jungle!" [Illustration] Then the next tiger spoke. "I suppose you're going to say you didn't know it was our jungle!" "Did you know that not one explorer has ever left this island alive?" said the third tiger.
