Once as a tiger was eating, a bone got stuck in his teeth. He tried hard to remove the bone. A woodpecker saw the tiger’s discomfort and asked what the matter was. The tiger pointed to his teeth. The woodpecker promised to remove the bone from his teeth on the condition that the tiger would always give him a portion of his food. The tiger agreed and the woodpecker took out the bone with its sharp beak.
One day, the tiger was eating and the woodpecker asked for a share. The tiger refused and said, “You should be thankful that I did not kill you when you entered my mouth.” The woodpecker was enraged at the ungrateful tiger. He pecked the tiger in one eye. The tiger roared with pain and the woodpecker said, “You should be thankful that I didn’t blind both your eyes.”
Moral Of The Story: "Tit For Tat."
