老虎来喝下午茶 The Tiger Who Came to Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability
What would you do if a tiger invited itself to your house for tea?
A little girl named Sophie was having tea with her mum in the kitchen, and then the doorbell rang. It was a tiger! And it proceeded to eat and drink everything in their home. They had no water for a bath, and no food for dinner! Papa came back and suggested that they have dinner outside. The next day, Sophie and her mum went grocery shopping, even getting some tiger food... but the tiger never did come back.
I find this story charming in that the incredulous happenings occurred amidst extremely ordinary circumstances!
My kids find it funny that the tiger is anthropomorphised - taking on human traits.
