I’m just a Tiger, I’m easy to snatch, but I know a creature that no one can catch. It’s called the Chapore, I’ve seen one before, it stood where you’re standing, right there, on the floor!’ And so begins the story of a foolish poacher and his bid to catch an amazing and elusive creature, the incredible Chapore. During his journey the poacher encounters Tiger, Gorilla and Snake, all of whom give him a clue about where to find the Chapore in exchange for their freedom.
