Once there lived an old man in a mountain village.He was a famous hunter(猎人).He often went hunting alone in the mountains.He was not afraid of any animals, even a tiger.
One night, someone saw a tiger come into the village, and stole two sheep away.The next night the tiger came again.The villagers were frightened.They asked the old hunter to catch it so that they could have a safe life.
When the old man heard the tiger, he thought hard.He wondered why the tiger came at night twice but only stole the sheep.The next night he walked about outside the village.Suddenly he saw the tiger coming.He quickly threw himself on the ground.To his surprise, the tiger did not come at him, but went away.He followed it quietly and found it was running on two of its feet just like a man.Then everything was clean.
On the fourth day, when it got dark, the hunter took some animal skins(皮)with him and hid himself behind a big tree near the village.He was waiting for the “tiger”.As soon as the“tiger”came near the tree, the old hunter jumped out, caught the“tiger”by the“leg”and said,“Don’t be afraid.I do not mean to hurt you.You know who I am, don’t you?”
The“tiger”said“Yes”and took off the tiger’s skin.
“You are poor.But you mustn’t steal anything from others.Here are some animal skins for you.You may sell them at the market.With the money, you can buy food and clothes for your family.Work harder and make a living.”With tears in his eyes, the poor man thanked the kind-hearted old hunter and walked home.

Why did the old hunter take some animal skins with him when he was waiting for the“tiger”?
Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London
King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.
A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Robertson
