And the Tiger said to him, "Little Black Sambo,
I'm going to eat you up!" 

And Little Black Sambo said, 
"Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up and
 I'll give you my beautiful little Red Coat."

So the Tiger said, "Very well, I won't eat you this
time, but you must give me your beautiful little
Red Coat."

beautiful little Red Coat, and went away saying,
"Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."

And Little Black Sambo went on and by and by he met
another Tiger, and it said to him, 
"Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" 

And Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger,
don't eat me up, and I'll give you my beautiful little
Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings."

But the Tiger said, "What use would your shoes be to me?
I've got four feet, and you've got only two:
you haven't got enough shoes for me."

But Little Black Sambo said, "You could wear them
on your ears."
 
"So I could," said the Tiger:
"that's a very good idea. Give them to me, and 
I won't eat you this time." 

So the Tiger got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful
little Purple Shoes with Crimson Soles and Crimson Linings,
and went away saying,
"NowI'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."


And by and by Little Black Sambo met another Tiger,

And Little Black Sambo said, 
"Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up,
and I'll give you my beautiful Green Umbrella." 


But the Tiger said, "How can I carry an umbrella, 
when I need all my paws for walking with?" 

"You could tie a knot on you tail, and carry it that way,"
said Little Black Sambo.

"So I could," said the Tiger.
"Give it to me, and I won't eat you this time." 

So he got poor Little Black Sambo's beautiful Green
Umbrella, and went away saying,
 "Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."

And poor Little Black Sambo went away crying, because
the cruel Tigers had taken all his fine clothes.

Presently he heard a horrible noise that sounded like
"Gr-r-r-r-r-rrrrrrr," and it got louder and louder.

"Oh! Dear!" said Little Black Sambo, "there are all the
Tigers coming back to eat me up!  What shall I do?" 


So he ran quickly to a palm tree, and peeped round it
to see what the matter was.

And there he saw all the Tigers fighting, and disputing
which of them was the grandest. 

And at last they all got so angry that they jumped up and
took off all the fine clothes, and began to tear each other
with their claws, and bite each other with their great big
white teeth.

And they came, rolling and tumbling right to the foot of
the very tree where Little Black Sambo was hiding, 
but he jumped quickly in behind the umbrella. 

And the Tigers all caught hold of each others' tails, 
as they wrangled and scrambled, and so they found
themselves in a ring round the tree. 

Then, when the Tigers were very wee and very far away,
Little Black Sambo jumped up, and called out,
"Oh! Tigers! Why have you taken off all your nice clothes?
 Don't you want them any more?"
 

But the Tigers only answered,
"Gr-r-r-r-rrrr!"

Then Little Black Sambo said, "If you want them, 
say so, or I'll take them away." 

But the Tigers would not let go of each others' tails, 
and so they could only say "Gr-r-r-r-r-rrrrrr!" 

So Little Black Sambo put on all his fine clothes again 
and walked off.

And the Tigers were very, very angry, but still 
they would not let go of each others' tails.

And they were so angry that they ran round the tree,
trying to each other up, and they ran faster and faster,
till they were　whirling round so fast that you couldn't see
their legs at all. 

And they still ran faster and faster and faster, 
till they all just melted away,
and there was nothing left but a great big pool of melted
butter(or "ghi,"　as it is called in India,) 
round the foot of the tree.



Now Black Jumbo was just coming home from his
work, with a great big brass　pot in his arms, 
and when he saw　what was left of all the Tigers
he said,　"Oh! What lovely melted butter!
I'll take that home to　Black Mumbo for her
to cook with." 

So he put it all into the great big brass pot,
and took it home to Black Mumbo to cook with.


When Black Mumbo saw the melted butter, 
wasn't she pleased !

"Now," said she, "we'll all have pancakes for supper !" 

So she got flour and eggs and milk and sugar and butter, 
and she made a huge big plate of most lovely pancakes.

And she fried them in the melted butter which
the Tigers had made, and they were just as yellow
and brown as little Tigers.


And then they all sat down to supper. 


And Black Mumbo ate Twenty-seven pancakes, 
and Black Jumbo ate Fifty-five, 
but Little Black Sambo ate a Hundred and Sixty-nine, 
because he was so hungry.
