he wakes up in the wee hour of the nite to go to the bathroom, and feels the warmth of the room too unbearable. after opening the attic door, air circulation takes place and his room cools down by a few degrees, he feels much better.
the two hole-in-one complementary beers he had last nite after the 9-hole in the old course makes him a bit tipsy.he is wide awake. so he writes down what comes to his mind.....
long time ago in a far-way country, there lived a farmer at the foothill village. other than tending to his crops, he also went up the hill to get fire woods. one day, while collecting the fire woods, he heard a groan behind him. turning around he saw a tiger being trapped in a booby trap. the farmer was naturally taken aback, and wanted to run away. then the tiger groaned louder as if asking him for help. he stopped and turned back... cautiously approached it, and looked into its eyes, said, "you king of the jungle.... if i set you free, you must not hurt me. ok?"
the tiger seemed understand what he said, nodded its head.
he did as what he told the tiger, and after it was set free, it came to the man and rustled its head against his hand, with murmuring groans... and went away.
a few years passed by, a crook became the head of the county, and forced the farmer's daughter to marry him. on the day of the wedding, while the wedding procession was making all the dins with a tearful bride inside the sedan chair, on their way to the crook's mansion.... suddenly it halted when it reached the hill-path just outside the farmer village.... there was a tiger standing in the middle of the path, roaring and growling away. the whole gang dissipated, and the bride was left in the sedan chair.....
the crook after listening to what happened from the procession could hardly believe their story. nevertheless, he gathered more men, and went into the hill, looking for the tiger and the bride.
they found the empty sedan chair, but no sign of the bride being the victim of the tiger was detected. so they went to the farmer's house. once they entered the house. they found that the house vacant.... and they were trapped inside with all the doors locked outside....and there was a big pile of fire woods..... and a fire was started... the bad guys all perished.
the tiger suddenly turned into a strong prince and married the farmer's daughter, and they had a son....
the whole family supposed to live happily ever after if not for little tiger being trapped by the holes he dug.....
this time, no farmer is coming to help the little tiger, only he would be able to get himself out of his own trouble!
.... the story just unfolds.
question - who is the son?
