| Thousands of years ago, donkeys were not found in Guizhou
province. But meddlers were always allured by anything.
So they shipped one into this area.
One day, a tiger was walking around to find something
to eat, when he saw the strange animal. The huge new
comer frightened him quite a bit. He hid himself between
the bushes to study the donkey watchfully. It seemed
all right. So the tiger came near to the donkey to have
a close look. "Hawhee¡" a loud noise burst
upon, which sent the tiger running away as fast as he
could. He could not have any time to think before he
settled himself home. The humiliation stung in him.
He must come back to that strange thing to see it clear
though he was still haunted by the terrible noise.
The donkey was enraged when the tiger got too close.
So the donkey brought his unique skill to bear on the
offender ---- to kick with his hooves. After several
bouts, it became very clear that what the donkey had
was so much. The tiger jumped upon the donkey in time
and cut its throat.
People are always told the story to speak of one's
limited tricks.
