origin story

Back in the day,
Tigers wore beautiful golden coats,
that they were very proud of.
One of the nicest coats belonged to Lee,
a very well known tiger in his woods.
Then one devastating day,
Lee was captured by a heap of feline hunters.
They wanted to use his coat
for blankets and clothing.
The hunters bound him down,
planning to hold him overnight.
Hour after hour Lee tugged,
pulling at the tightly stretched ropes.
The sky darkened
and the hunters left Lee.
He was alone outside, tied up.
PUUUUUULLLL! Finally, he broke free!
The hunters never found him again,
but still to this day,
the tiger has black, charcoal stripes,
from where the ropes
had bound him down!
