| Summary: | "Imran is an awesome pet tiger. Except he doesn't look like a tiger. In fact, Imran's human isn't so sure that he's a real tiger at all. To impress the other kids, the boy tries to "fix" Imran's appearance. He paints black stripes on Imran, but the kids all think Imran is a zebra! Painted black spots make him look like a cheetah. Instead of going along with the ruse, Imran stays true to himself. When the kids feed him grass as if he were a zebra, he spits it out. When asked to run like a cheetah, he naps instead. When the boy tries to paint him orange, Imran has had enough. Why does he think Imran isn't a perfectly good tiger the way he is? Imran has soft fur like a tiger, sharp teeth and claws like a tiger, and (most important of all) he has a great, big tiger ... ROAR! The other children rush to over to meet the tiger with the awesome roar, and the boy realizes his mistake--Imran should be exactly what he is. A humorous reminder that we don't have to change the unique things about us to be accepted and remarkable."-- |
