Worksheet 2 The Indian Story
Worksheet 2:
1. Read the story below, imagine and draw a cartoon inspired picture of the character’s
experience.
An Indian story tells us of a man chased by a tiger. The man is terrified and, as he runs
blindly for his life, he falls down a precipice. As he falls, he manages to grab hold of the
exposed roots of a tree. He desperately hangs on. He looks up and he sees the tiger; he looks
down and he sees a cobra at the bottom of the precipice. He looks at the base of the tree and
he notices a mouse nibbling at the roots. Just above is a honeycomb. Drops of honey fall on
the back of his hand. All he does is reach up and lick each drop.
