 A highly educated scientist whose knowledge is astounding realizes that he knows nothing about Bengal tigers. He reads every book about tigers that he can find and concludes that he must travel to the Indian jungle to learn more. After his long journey, he asks a local hunter to be his guide. He proceeds to tell the guide all he knows about tigers. He doesn’t stop talking and the guide never gets a word in. When confronted by a magnificent tiger, the guide climbs the nearest tree and the scientist learns that the guide’s practical experience is best. The tale is inspired by Swami Prajnanpad, a modern Indian guru and philosopher (1891-1974). Fine lined drawings splashed with greens, browns, and neon orange complement the humorous text. They include complicated diagrams and anatomical details. mjw |
