Little Dramas for Primary Grades

by Ada M. Skinner; Lillian Nixon Lawrence

Tiger. I was in the cage!

Jackal. Yes, yes. Let me see, how did it all begin?

Brahman. Tiger was in the cage and I came walking by—

Jackal. Yes, yes, I see. You were in the cage and the tiger came walking by—

Tiger. [Angrily.] Not at all! I was in the cage.

Jackal. Yes, my lord. Dear, dear, it’s very confusing. It has all got mixed up in my mind. Let me see, the tiger was in the Brahman and the cage came walking by! No, no, that was not it, either! Well, don’t wait for me. I shall never understand.

Tiger. Yes, you shall understand. Look here, I am the tiger.

Jackal. Yes, my lord.

Tiger. And that is the Brahman.

Jackal. Yes, my lord.
