The tiger was blocking our escape.We nearly died but our daggers and spears saved us. It was a hot, dry day in the plains of south Africa and the tiger sprang at us before we could run back to the safety of our tribe. He viciously slashed at us but we fended him off. We didn't want to hurt the creature so we just scared him off. That night the tribe formed a circle around me and my friend and we told them about our great encounter with the tiger and how we defended ourselves against the terrifying beast.
