A Letter for Tiger - Enhanced Edition

»Oh yes, so I did! Thank you very much,«

says Little Bear.

When he reached the top of the hill, he

began calling out:

»A letter! For Tiger!

A letter! For Tiger!«

But Little Tiger did not hear him.Tiger was

lying in the grass behind their little house.

He had not peeled any onions or boiled any

potatoes.

He had not swept the living room floor

or watered the flowers.

He had not wanted to do anything at all,

because he still felt so lonely.

And now he did not even want his letter,

either.

Because Little Bear was home again himself,

in person.

That night Little Tiger woke Little Bear up.

»Listen, I must just ask you something

before you go to sleep,« he said.

»Could you send your letter rather earlier

tomorrow? Perhaps you could send it by

express messenger.«

»All right,« said Little Bear, and the next

day he took all his things out with him

again. The ink, the quill pen, notepaper,

and an envelope.

But today he took a stamp too.

Down by the riverside, he put the worm

on the hook and he put the hook and line

in the water again.

Then he wrote:

»Dear Tiger,

please do all the things I asked you to do

when I wrote yesterday.

I hope you are well.

In haste! With lots of love and kisses

from Little Bear.«

Then the elegant goose came by.
