Tiger Thomas

"GRR! GRRR!"

- Thomas' tiger impression

Tiger Thomas is a magazine story.

Plot
One day, Thomas was taking some schoolchildren on a trip to the Wildlife Park. He thought the trip would be more fun if he dressed up, so he has a big orange sheet over his boiler with black strips on - just like a tiger! When they get to the Wildlife Park, the children are not allowed in. There has been an escaped African deer with sharp horns which would be unsafe for the children to encounter. The children are sad, so, to cheer them up, Thomas roars like a tiger. Suddenly, a startled deer comes running out from the bushes. It's the escaped African deer who thought Thomas was a real tiger. The keepers soon capture the deer and calm him down, allowing the schoolchildren to visit, after all. Thomas had been the hero of the day!
