As night fell, the big bad wolf, Dot, arrived at the small hillside, only to find that Tiger King was already waiting.
Excited, the wolf asked, “Big bro, why did you call me here? Are we going hunting?”
“No. I have a blood brother who was taken to the zoo when he was little. I found out that he’ll be passing through here tonight, and I plan to rescue him. I need your help!”
Sensing trouble, the wolf quickly said, “Oh no! I just remembered that my little cub hasn’t had dinner yet. I have to go feed him.”
As he turned to leave, the tiger called out, “Stop! I need you to distract the tiger thief while I rescue my brother!”
Before the wolf could protest, a car approached but was forced to stop when a tree stump blocked the road.
The tiger sniffed the air and said, “I smell my brother! He’s in that car. Go distract the thief!”
Then, with a push, he sent the wolf tumbling down the hill.
Having no other choice, the wolf reluctantly ran toward the car.
The thief inside saw a wolf suddenly appear in front of the vehicle. Without hesitation, he raised his gun and fired a shot.
The bullet grazed the wolf’s back, sending him scurrying back up the hill in terror.
Panting, the wolf reported, “He didn’t fall for it! The bullet almost hit me! I was scared to death!”
“Useless!” the tiger growled. “I’ll distract him. You open the car and free my brother!”
With that, the tiger dashed down the hill.
Seeing the tiger, the thief thought, Another tiger? If I catch this one alive, I can sell it to the circus. And its fur is worth a fortune!
He quickly grabbed his tranquilizer gun and aimed.
The tiger swiftly dodged and ran away.
The thief immediately jumped out of the car to chase after him.
Seeing that the thief had taken the bait, the wolf rushed down the hill and opened the car door. Inside was indeed a big tiger.
Respectfully, the wolf said, “You must be Tiger King’s brother. He sent me to rescue you and take you back to the Animal Kingdom…”
Before he could finish, a heavy punch landed on his head.
The big tiger roared, “I eat well and live comfortably in the zoo! I don’t want to go back to the Animal Kingdom! I only told him to meet me, not to rescue me! How dare you trick me?!”
…
When the tiger returned to the hillside, he did not see his brother. All he saw was the wolf, nursing a swollen bump on his head.
After hearing what had happened and watching the car disappear into the distance, the tiger sighed, “My brother wasn’t being taken to the zoo. That thief stole him from the zoo to sell him to the circus. My brother is in real trouble now…”
