Abstract
This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the third level, 48 pages in length. The back cover describes this as "a story from Indonesia." This is a happy-ending story of good deception. At each of the three meal times, Tiger approaches Little Deer at the river and sees him as dinner. Little Deer claims to be guarding something for the king: pudding that turns out to be mud; a belt that turns out to be a snake; and a drum that turns out to be a wasps' nest. In the end, Tiger promises never to attack Little Deer again, and the latter smiles.
