When the tiger sobbed, sighed, wept and cried, the holy Brahmin’s heart softened, and at last he agreed to open the door of the cage. Out popped the tiger and growled: What a fool you are! What is to stop me from eating you now? After being locked up in the cage so long, I am just terribly hungry

Please please stop, don’t eat me! What you are doing is unjust. I request you to give me a chance to save my life. I have an idea. Let’s ask the first three things that we find nearby whether you should eat me or let me live.

At last, the brahmin managed to get this promise from the tiger. Seeing a holy fig tree nearby, the brahmin explained the situation to it and asked: O holy tree, now tell me what do you think of this situation?
