Tigers and lions, and where were you?

Last night I had a dream. In my dream, you were away from me. I was alone, at home. I looked out the window.

I saw a giant tiger in the backyard. I couldn’t believe my eyes. As I watched, I saw baby tigers approach. What a beautiful family, I thought to myself.

I looked away, to call you, to see. I looked back again and I saw a small lion. He grabbed the throat of the tiger with his jaws. He held on. The tiger struggled awhile, then gave up.

He was dead. And the baby tigers were gone.

And that was all.

And nobody else saw.
