Tiger repays kindness

According to legend in ancient times There was a kind old woman who lived alone at the foot of a mountain.

One evening, while she was collecting firewood in front of her door, a tiger suddenly jumped up and stared at her with its mouth wide open. The old woman was extremely frightened, but suddenly she discovered that the tiger was purring and making a sound, but would not move its mouth to bite. The old woman managed to calm down and observed the tiger in front of her. From its open mouth, it could be seen that there was a golden hairpin stuck in its throat. "Did it get stuck inside when it was eating people? From the looks of it, does the tiger want me to pull out the golden hairpin for it?" The old woman said, "I can pull it out for you, but you have to promise me not to eat it again." People." Tiger nodded. The old woman controlled her inner fear and finally pulled out the golden hairpin. The tiger looked at her gratefully, wagged his tail, and left. From then on, the tiger would bring some game to the old woman every now and then, such as hares, pheasants, and wild boars. With the tiger taking care of her, the old woman lived a pretty good life. Later, when the old woman passed away, the tiger came to accompany her to the grave, and eventually died beside the grave.
