Once upon a time, Sadim was traveling through the woods when he saw a tiger coming toward him. Without hesitation, he raised his hand and said firmly, "Stop right there!"

The tiger came to a sudden halt. Shocked and deeply offended, it stared at the tiny human standing so boldly in its path. A tear rolled down the tiger's cheek as it spoke in a sorrowful voice, "How dare a tiny human insult the King of the Jungle?"

Sadim, sensing the tiger’s sadness rather than its rage, softened his tone. "I didn’t mean to insult you. I was only trying to protect myself. I have great respect for you, mighty tiger."

The tiger blinked, surprised by the human's honesty and courage. "You are brave," it said, its voice calmer now. "Most would run or tremble. Why did you not?"

Sadim replied, "Because fear solves nothing. And I believe even kings deserve to be spoken to with truth, not flattery."

The tiger sat down, no longer angry. "You’ve taught me something today, little one," it said. "Perhaps a king should listen more and roar less."

From that day on, the tiger and Sadim became unlikely friends. The woods, once filled with fear and silence, echoed with stories and laughter shared between the King of the Jungle and the boy who dared to speak.
