Having invited a tiger home for lunch, a frog suddenly realises that tigers only eat meat. - Surrounded by a cat, a mongoose, and an owl, a terrified mouse wonders if he can escape alive. - The third set of stories is from the Mahabharata, whose great narrative is interspersed with many little such tales.
