How Tigers Got Their Stripes
By whitetigerlover4ever

Once there was a tiger who loved her cubs very much. One day she went hunting to bring back some food for them. Then as she was bring back the food for her cubs she heard a great, giant roar that made all the trees shudder all around the forest. Suddenly she heard the roar again and found it was right where she left the cubs. The mother tiger ran as fast as her paws could take her. Suddenly as she came to where her cubs were she saw what was making that sound. It was a giant bear that was going to make a meal out of her cubs. She was so scared for the safety of her cubs she pounced with claws out at the bear without any fear of what was going to happen to her. The tiger surprised the bear but the bear started to claw her so the tiger would get off. The fight became an intense one. But the mother tiger had a reason to fight so she fought out of love for her cubs and drove the bear away. After the battle the mother tiger had scratched all over her body. Later the scratched became scars and eventually the scars had completely turned into stripes. Since the mother’s bravery all tigers today wear the stripes to honor the mother tiger.
