The Dancing Tiger

Legend has it that in the forest, there is a dancing tiger, whose dance is so varied, sometimes like a soaring falcon, sometimes like a flexible and agile monkey, sometimes like a needle like the spring rain, sometimes like a willow branch floating in the wind, even the people who are known as the god of dance, even if they just look at the tiger's delicate dance, they will be dwarfed by themselves.

The legend spread around the world as if it were a dandelion scattered by the breeze. In order to see the dance that should not exist on earth, people came to the forest one after another from all directions, some left their important jobs, some sold their homes, and some had been searching the forest for weeks, all of them, without exception, to witness the legend.

Despite the enthusiasm of the people, the search for the mysterious tiger was a needle in a haystack, and only a few lucky Chosen Ones were able to get a glimpse of it. Once these people publicly announce that they have seen the tiger dance, they will immediately become world-class celebrities, and they will be invited to parties, interviews and TV shows everywhere, even if they use clumsy language to describe the breathtaking scene, it will be so enchanting to hear.

The more you hear about it from others, the more you want to see it with your own eyes. Some people have tried to capture the tiger's dance with a video camera, but when it was broadcast, nothing could be seen, so people concluded that the only way to respect the dancer's performance was to go to the stage in person.

So, is it possible to ask the tiger to teach the dance to itself? With such doubts and hopes, more people set out towards the forest.

Finally, one of them said that he had received the secret dance technique from the tiger, which meant that he had become the tiger's student. No one believed him until he performed the dance in public. Although he could not fully demonstrate the tiger's dance skills, there was no doubt that he had learned them from the tiger, and with time and diligence, it would be impossible for him to become the world's number one dancer.

Someone asked him why the tiger was willing to give him the secret book.

He replied, "I told Tiger that I wanted to learn to dance, perform all over the world and earn lots and lots of money. So the tiger gave me the secret book."

It seemed like he didn't use any particular method, but this answer was obviously not what everyone wanted to hear.

Some time later, a second person announced that he too had gotten the Tiger's dance secret. He was a dance teacher who told the tiger that he wished to learn the magical dance to teach more people to dance, and thus got the tiger's consent and also became his student.

It turned out that it was not difficult to get the secret book, so more people set off towards the forest again.

This time the goddess of luck favored a young man who happened to meet the tiger dancing by the creek. He sincerely expressed to the tiger his wish to learn its dancing skills.

To his surprise, the tiger spoke up and asked, "Why do you want to learn my dance?"

The young man responded that he came from a poor family that often did not have enough to eat or wear, and he had to learn to steal in order to survive. Once a large event was held in the city where he lived, and many people came to visit, it was the time for thieves to make a fortune, and the young man took to the battlefield. Just when he saw his prey ready to strike, he suddenly saw the stage, the dance being performed, it was the first time since he was born, he saw something like dancing. He was struck by that expressed with the body and movement, dumbfounded by the whole performance, even he came to forget what.

After watching it, the young man felt his mind was baptized like never before. He suddenly realized that what he had done in the past was wrong and he was determined to clean up his act and become a new man.

The young man told the tiger, "So I want to learn to dance and then go to many places to perform and let many, many people know that dance can bring us hope and happiness."

The tiger said, "Very well, then I will give you the secret book."

After saying that, in front of the young man's eyes, a book appeared, which was the tiger's secret book of dance.

The young man was surprised and he asked, "Is it that simple? Can a person like me also get this treasure?"

The tiger replied, "In fact, I will give the secret book to anyone who wants to learn it."

The young man was even more puzzled: "Then why only few people would say they got the secret book?"

The tiger said, "Of course it is not an ordinary secret book. If the person who gets the secret book does not study seriously and practice consistently, this secret book will disappear and he will not see me again. Young man, I hope you can remember what you said today."

After saying that, the tiger disappeared, and the young man made up his mind that he must be firm in his goal, never give up halfway, and definitely will not fail the tiger's trust.
