Make a tiny story book and
read it to a friend or little
sister or brother!
1. Number each
part of the
story and each
picture in
order. Cut
them all out.
2. Match the
words with the
pictures in the
correct order.
The other animals

looked funny. Even
today Tiger hides in the
shadows. And he is still
searching for wisdom.
3. Paste each set of
matching words and
picture on a small
piece of construction
paper to make nine
individual pages.

One morning, Tiger saw
his big, strong friend,
Water Buffalo, pulling a
plow in a field.
A man was telling Water
Buffalo what to do.
Long ago, Tiger was
one of the proudest
animals in the jungle.
He was proud of his
long fangs, his sharp
claws and his beautiful
golden fur.
Tiger asked Water
Buffalo, “Why do you
listen to that strange little
animal? He has no
claws or fangs or
even beautiful
golden fur.”
Tiger wanted
wisdom very badly, so he
agreed to be tied to the
tree. Then the man left
with his goats. Tiger
waited and waited. He
waited for a day. But the
man never came back.
Which character in this
folktale was wise? Why do
you think that? Talk about it
with a family member.

4. Draw a cover and
staple the pages
together to make
a tiny book.
Tiger realized that
he’d been tricked. He was
furious as he pulled and
clawed until he broke free
of the ropes at last. But all
that struggling had burned
stripes into his beautiful
golden fur!
The man said,
“Wait here. I will go
home and get wisdom
for you. But first,
please let me tie you to
this tree so that you
don’t eat my goats.”

The next morning,
Tiger saw the man
walking home with his
herd of goats. “STOP!”
Tiger roared. “Give me
your wisdom or I will
eat you!”

replied, “Tiger, that animal
is a human. He does not
need claws or fangs.
Humans have wisdom.”
Tiger thought to himself,
“Wow! I must get
wisdom!”

Think of a phrase that
you think is wise. For
example, “Treat others
as you would want
people to treat you.”

newspaper to find and
cut out the words that
make this sentence. Glue
the words onto a piece of
paper to remind you of
this piece of wisdom.
What is a folktale?
How Tiger Got Its Stripes is a folktale from Vietnam.
Folktales are stories that get passed from generation
to generation. They can change as different people
tell them over time. As such, they are created by
“the folk,” or the people. Long ago, these tales were
spoken and never written down.
