The clever tiger quickly learned many skills, and at the same time moved a bad thought: If I get rid of the cat now, I will not be the king of the hundred beasts? So the tiger attacked the cat. However, in the process of teaching the tiger the skill, the cat still left a hand, and with a slight jump, he jumped onto a big tree. The tiger had never learned to climb a tree, and could only watch the cat escape. This story comes from ancient Chinese folk tales, which Mr. Lu Xun once mentioned in his own works.
