How the Tiger Got his Stripes

Download
00:00 / 00:00

We celebrate the Year of the Tiger with a legend of how the tiger got his stripes. The Chinese New Year falls on February 14th in 2010, and anyone born in this year will be lucky and brave (according to horoscopes).

You might also be interested in our story of how the Chinese years were named after animals. And if you like tigers, then try the poem. The Tyger (yes, it is spelled that way because it's archaic), and our story from India, The Brahman, the Tiger, and the Jackel.

Read by Natasha. Version by Bertie. Duration: 7.01.
Proofread by Claire Deakin.

A long time ago, when animals still had the power of speech, a white, stripeless tiger, crept to the edge of the jungle and looked out at the paddy fields where the rice grew. He saw a man sitting under a banana tree eating his lunch. Not far away stood a buffalo who was also taking a rest from his work ploughing the fields. The great beast swished his tail to swipe away the flies.

The tiger crept forward on his belly, using his powerful arms to pull himself through the grass, and when he was just behind the buffalo he whispered, “Do not be afraid. I do not come to satisfy my hunger, but to seek your advice. Do tell me the answer to my question - for I am so curious to know. I have been observing the puny little man who is your master. He has no strength, no sharp sense of smell. His hands are not strong and his teeth are not sharp, yet he rules you and makes you work for him. You, on the other hand, are a magnificent beast of great and wonderful strength. You are twenty times his weight and size, and I know to my cost that you can put up a fair fight with the best of the beasts of the jungle. I have heard that the source of man’s power is something called wisdom. So tell me, oh buffalo, what is wisdom? Where does the man get it from?”

The buffalo munched slowly on his grass for a while before answering, “Beats me, I’ve no idea. Why don’t you ask him?”

The tiger saw that he would not get a sensible answer from the buffalo, and so he sprang over the to the man in one great bound, and as he stood before the trembling farmer he said, “Have no fear little man, for I have not come to satisfy my hunger. I am here in search of wisdom. Do answer my question, please, for it perplexes me. What this thing that men call wisdom? What does it look like? Where does it come from? Will you not share some of it with me?”

The man wiped the sweat of fear from his forehead and said as calmly as he could, “Wisdom is very precious. Must I really give some of it to you?”

“The choice is yours,” said the Tiger, “But do you hear that sound? It is my stomach rumbling. I have not slept or eaten for three days, so perplexed have I been by this question, but now I am starting to feel like I could do with a bite to eat. ”

And the man could indeed hear a low rumbling sound. He replied to the tiger, “Well of course I will gladly share my wisdom with you. But I’m afraid I have left it at home today. I must go and fetch it for you. If you come back with me, I am afraid the villagers will take fright. Will you wait here a while?”

The tiger walked around the man menacingly before giving his reply, “I will wait, but be sure to come back, or I will visit you in your field again tomorrow, and next time I might be more hungry than than inquisitive.”

The man started to walk out of the field, but he had taken only a few steps when he turned back and said, “Please forgive me. I am troubled by the thought of leaving a hungry tiger here with my animals. Will you let me tie you to this tree while I am away fetching the wisdom? That way my fears will be at rest.”

The tiger was afraid that the man would change his mind about sharing his wisdom. He thought of the great power that only a little wisdom would give him — how with his strength, and with just a little of man’s wisdom, he would rule every creature that walked, slithered, swam or flew across the world. He wanted this prize so much that he agreed to let the man coil a rope around his body and his legs, and tie him to the trunk of the banana tree.

A little later, the man returned to the field with his three sons. Each carried armfuls of dry straw.

“Here, I have kept my side of the bargain. I have brought you wisdom” said the man, and he and his sons laid the straw on the ground beneath the tiger. Then the man set alight to it. Bright orange flames leaped up and burned the tiger. He roared with pain, until at last the fire seared through the ropes, and he sprang to freedom, and bounded for the river where he soothed his burnt fur in the cooling waters.

In time the wounds of the tiger healed, but for ever more his body bore orange stripes where the flames and burned him, and black ones where the ropes had bound him.

sherin — January 28, 2010
It does not fit the conscience of modern man. It is a brutal story/legend.

Yohannes — January 29, 2010
Dear Yohannes, I take your point. It is a little cruel for our age, but sometimes it’s refreshing to hear a slightly less sentimental story. The truth is, man’s relationship to animals isn’t so cute and cuddly, even if modern stories present it that way. We are often rather brutal, and that’s a fact. But thank you for interesting comment.

Bertie — January 30, 2010

(Kayla) it is a good story but why did the man tied the tiger and tried to burn him up?

Kendra and Kayla — February 2, 2010
Dear Kendra and Kayla, I suppose men are afraid of tigers and don’t like the way they eat their farm animals. That was when there were more tigers about. But of course now there are only a few tigers left in the world, so it’s a great shame to hunt them.

Dear Natasha,

When you read stories, you make everything come to life. Your voice sounds very soothing. Did you read stories at storynory when you were young? When you were in kindergarten, that is when I think you learnt to read. You also read stories now. When did you start reading in storynory? Do you read Pokemon books?

Tien — February 19, 2010
I am totally enjoying listening to the fairy tale “How the Tiger Got Its Stripes” — As a Reading Teacher, I love the background info and the connection made to the up-to-date Chinese New Year. The reader sounds clear, enthusiastic, and very expressive. A wonderful addition to any classroom or home. Thank you!

Camille — March 10, 2010
Help! the tiger reminds me on the tiger in the jungelbook! The farmer realy had wisdom:-)! I love storys like that: why the fox got a white tale end or how the tiger got his stripes! 🙂 🙂

Xenia — March 16, 2010
Hi Xenia, I think you are right – the tiger is very like the one in the Jungle book – and of course Kipling also wrote lots of Just So stories about how animals became “just so”.

Bertie — March 16, 2010
I think the tiger should give reveng to the farmer and or should kill the farmer it is a nice story.

Hi Tula, we usually make the story in January to match the year, and the year of the rooster comes up in 2017. But I suppose we could think about having a category with stories for each year. That might be a good idea. I’ll put my mind to it.

Hello Storynory Workers,

I admire your stories well. My Dad made it my homework to listen it every day, no matter if I am at my Mom’s place, or visiting Dad’s place. I am listening to these stories even if I am in Shanghai, China now!

I really like those stories. I am Chinese myself. I had heard many different versions of those stories by my Grandma (my Mom’s mom)

Thank you!

I would have liked it more if you could have emulated the Tiger’s curiosity by saying things like providing examples for what the Tiger thought wisdom was, like maybe he thought it was a special plant or something.
