Chinese story: The Kuichú donkey

You had never seen an ass in Kuichú, until the day when an eccentric, eager for novelties, had one brought by boat. But since he did not know how to use it, he released it in the mountains.

A tiger, seeing such a strange creature, took it for a divinity. He observed him hiding in the forest, until he ventured to leave the jungle, always keeping a prudent distance.

One day the donkey brayed for a long time and the tiger ran in fear. But he turned and thought that, in spite of everything, that divinity should not be so terrible. Already accustomed to the braying of the ass, he was approaching, but without risking more than necessary.

When he was confident, he began to take some liberties, rubbing him, giving him some push, bothering him every moment, until the ass, furious, kicked him. 'So this is what he knows how to do', the tiger told himself. And jumping on the donkey devoured him. Po Poor ass! It seemed powerful because of its size, and fearsome for its braying. If he had not shown all his talent with the coz, the ferocious tiger would never have dared to attack him. But with his kick the ass signed his death sentence.
