One day John went to his orchard to look for firewood. He left his buffalo at the bottom of the hill leading up to his orchard and made his way on foot. While John was busy chopping wood, a tiger came by and attacked his buffalo. Just as the tiger was about to finish his meal, a passer-by witnessed what had happened and rushed to inform John. “Come quick! A tiger has eaten your buffalo and is escaping up this hill,” said the man. John calmly walked t o the bottom of the hill and saw the bones of his buffalo strewn about. “Well, my buffalo is already dead and nothing can be done about that,” sighed John. “As for the tiger, running uphill on a full stomach is punishment enough.”
