She playing with tiger. I saw in circus in my childhood that humans playing with cruel animals and heard in stories. But now this not circus animal, it's a jungle animal. My wife is playing with a really jungle tiger, like he is her pet. Suddenly tiger stopped playing with her and looked me, he leaved her and start coming towards me, I'm scared, before he reach me.

"Munna stop" chitti said from behind and he stopped his step. I looked her. She came near tiger, kneel down, and touched his head.

"He is our friend munna" She said rubbing his body, surprisingly he lay down there looking at me, Chitti gesture me to come, i went near them and slowly sat next her, seeing me he got up from his place. I held her hand in fear.

"Relax... sir he won't hurt you, munna... come here my boy..... say hai to your new friend, in your style" she said

As if he understood her words, he came near me and lick my face and throw his both hands on my shoulders. Hahhaah... i never experience a hai like this... i liked his style of saying hai.
