He is the animal trainer br makes even the fiercest of fierce animals br crawl, jump, stand on hind legs br just by the crack of his whip. br br He puts his head between br the dangerous teeth of the tiger br pats his appreciation br waits in anticipation br of applause. br br This tigress br that roamed the deep jungle, br terror of the forest, br now sits cross-legged in front of him. br Is she a tigress or what? br br Someone once asked her about it. br She just smiled and brought out br her long sharp nails br hidden well under her paws br and scratched her head.
