The Tiger Story (Little Boy Version)
There once was a tiger on the prowl and oh! He was so ferocious. Huddled in the corner there was a boy, and around him there was this terrible darkness. “Roar, roar!” said the tiger, and he could see the spit drooling from his mouth.
A great white light flashed everywhere, all over the earth, and then out of the light there stepped a man. He held out his hand and he said to the tiger, “Stop!” You must not eat this gentleman.”
It was Jesus! “You found me!” he cried. “I can’t believe you came to save the day!”
“I’m here, little boy,” he said. No one will ever harm you again. And do you see that little tiger over there? He’s just sad and old, and he’s frightened. Do you see? He didn’t even mean to harm you in the first place.”
“Now I see,” he said.
Jesus hugged him and dried the tears from his face. Together they walked towards the tiger, and then the tiger nudged him with his nose. He licked the palm of his hand, and that’s when he knew that he would never be frightened of anything ever, ever again.
