17651 - Tiger and the Three Pigs


Tiger and the Three Pigs

by: David Leonhardt a.k.a. The Happy Guy


After years of terrorizing the countryside, hunting deer, poaching livestock, killing game, Tiger grew long in the tooth. Finally, he knew it was time to retire. So he packed his bag and ambled into town to the Three Little Pigs Retirement Home Inc. He rang the bell, and the first little pig appeared on the landing above. 'What do you want?' asked the little pig.
'I come here to retire,' Tiger replied.
'Ooooh. I don't think so,' the little pig declared. 'You're not like us. You've got big teeth. Very dangerous. We can't let you in.'
So Tiger went to the dentist and had his teeth removed. The next day, he returned to the Three Little Pigs Retirement Home Inc. 'What do you want?' asked the second little pig.
'I have no more teeth. I come here to retire,' Tiger replied once more.
'Ooooh. No, no, no. That just won't do,' the little pig exclaimed. 'You're different. You have sharp claws. You scare us. We can't let you in.'
So Tiger went to the manicurist and had his claws removed. The next day, he returned to the Three Little Pigs Retirement Home Inc. 'What do you want?' demanded the third little pig.
'I have no more claws. I come here to retire,' Tiger repeated.
'Ooooh. Let me see,' the little pig muttered as he disappeared from sight. Tiger heard much whispering and commotion behind the big wooden doors. 'Okay, come in,' said the little pig.
Tiger strolled through the doors, and there stood the three little pigs, grinning ear to ear. Suddenly they jumped on Tiger. Squealing with delight, they beat him up and sent him packing. No teeth. No claws. Yippeeee! Finally they got even with Tiger for terrorizing the animals.
Tiger should have known better. He should have accepted who he is and not try to conform to someone else's image of him. What tiger in his right mind lets a pig paint his portrait?
So, who paints your portrait?
