8 Read the text and put its paragraphs in the right order.
a) Women from nearby villages often brought sewing for the old woman to do. She was very good at making clothes. They paid her for her work with some food. At first they were not afraid of the little tiger; he was no bigger than a cat. However, when spring came, he was the size of a calf, with long teeth and claws. The women told their hunter husbands and the men came to kill the young tiger.
b) The tiger was a good son. Every day he brought her a gift in his mouth — a deer or a large piece of tree branch. When the old woman died the tiger came to their house for some years and then disappeared. The tiger’s love for the woman impressed the hunters so much that they made a small stone monument to him.
c) That was how, the tiger became the woman’s son. In the evenings he walked to where the old woman was sitting and lay at her feet. She bent down to rub his ears and he licked her shoes with his soft tongue. She gave him the food she ate, and she slept lying against the tiger, whose soft fur was cozy and warm, when it was cold.
d) Once there was an elderly woman, who lived with her only son inside a forest. Her son was a tiger hunter, and one cold winter a tigress killed him. The old woman’s grief was very great; she had no son and nobody to look after her. The other hunters were sorry for her. So they brought her the tigress’ newborn cub. He was a small ball of golden fur with weak legs and a toothless mouth. They told her to kill him. His skin, they said, would make warm boots for the woman’s feet. But the cub was so helpless and lovely that the kind woman kept him.
e) “This tiger is the only friend I have now. I shall go to the magistrate and adopt him as my son,” the woman told them. The hunters thought that she was mad, but they did not kill her tiger. The kind magistrate did not have the heart to say no to the old lady who was so lonely an unhappy.
