       Once upon a time, a hunter was walking in the  mountain with his son. 
 
 Then a tiger suddenly appeared from behind a rock  and it held him in its mouth trying to take him away. 
 
 Being surprised, his son raised his gun and aimed  at the tiger running away. 
 
 The old guy saw his son trying to trigger and  loudly said, 
 
“Hey son! Its legs! Legs! Aim at its legs because  if you wound the tiger’s body, the selling price of its skin will be lower.” 
      The end.
