00:00The Honest Cow and the Tiger
00:06Long ago, a great event was happening in a beautiful farm.
00:13There, there, my dad.
00:17I'll call you my Roma.
00:22Oh! Hey!
00:25Hey, Tee-Loo. Meet your new friend.
00:31Who says I want to be friends?
00:33Well...
00:34Just give me the fruit that you got me. You have got it, right?
00:37There it is, by the side, fresh from the forest.
00:41And don't do this leaking business when I am around.
00:45And you will still give me fruit every day, right?
00:49Of course I will, Tee-Loo.
00:51If you don't, you wait and watch.
00:53Just because I have my own little daughter, I won't forget you, Tee-Loo. I promise.
00:59And you know, I always keep my promise.
01:02Ha-ha! We'll see!
01:08Maya, he's such a rude fellow. Why do you even talk to him?
01:12She even gives him fruit. Why?
01:15Well, I would never talk to someone as unsophisticated as he.
01:22Now, come on, girls. He isn't that bad.
01:26I would never talk to him.
01:27There is already a lot of rudeness and anger in this world.
01:31Can't we spread a little bit of friendship?
01:33But, Mother, I don't like the way he speaks.
01:37That is because he doesn't have a mother who can teach him to be polite.
01:42He is not rude, darling. He is just scared and lonely.
01:49Ah! I miss you, Mother!
01:54Huh? Mother?
02:01Mother, can we go out?
02:03Not now, darling. Go to sleep.
02:06But I can't.
02:08Can you get that thing outside for me to play with?
02:12That's the moon.
02:14And no, I can't.
02:16Go to sleep, Roma.
02:21Shh!
02:23Shh!
02:28It's...
02:29You, you.
02:33Take this.
02:35What's this?
02:35The fruit your mother got for me from the forest.
02:39So, it's for you.
02:42Why are you giving it to me?
02:44Because I know that a mother's gift is the most beautiful thing in the world.
02:48And I want you to have it.
02:50Mother was telling me that you don't have a mother.
02:53Don't you go meddling in my private life.
02:56I brought you a gift.
02:57Just take it and thank me for it.
02:59Hey, listen.
03:04Thanks.
03:06Okay.
03:08Hey, listen.
03:11Now what?
03:13Can we be friends?
03:15Friends with a rude, horrible fellow like me?
03:18No.
03:19Friends with the little guy who got me a gift.
03:23Mother says we all need a little more friendship in the world.
03:26Yeah, right.
03:49You'll be all right?
03:50I will miss you, Mother.
03:51Mother, don't go.
03:55If I don't go, darling, I won't be able to feed you your milk.
04:00I must go and eat some fresh grass.
04:02Well, but come back soon.
04:05Yes, I will.
04:06What will I do here all alone?
04:09Hmm, let me see.
04:12You can play on the farm.
04:14Say hello to all the flowers and vegetables here.
04:16And then help the farmer's daughter clean the shed, stack the hay.
04:21Why should she help a human?
04:22Don't we do enough already?
04:24Yeah, she is right.
04:28Nothing in this world will make you happier than helping others.
04:32Try it.
04:33You will enjoy it.
04:34Just make sure you get a good scrub.
04:38And don't go out to the sun too much.
04:40It is bad for your hide.
04:42How are you, Maya?
04:48And the little one.
04:51Hey, how was your first night on the farm?
04:54Slept well?
04:56Let's go, my beauties.
04:58Find fresh new grass awaits you all.
05:01Every day, the farmer would take his cows to the forest for grazing.
05:05Let's go, my beauties.
05:35The peak of summer was here, and the weather had become scorching hot.
05:43It's getting so hot.
05:45Even the grass is getting drier, and our milk is reducing.
05:48I want some sunscreen, folks.
05:51My baby, you need the freshest milk possible.
05:54For that, I need fresh grass.
05:57Gosh, if it doesn't rain soon, and this scorched-up grass doesn't taste half as good as the fresh green one.
06:04Well, that's a beautiful patch of grass.
06:12Hey, don't go there.
06:15Maya, come back.
06:17Maya didn't hear a thing.
06:19All she wanted was some fresh grass so that she could give the freshest milk to her daughter.
06:24Maya didn't realize that she had entered a tiger's territory.
06:34He got Maya's scent, and he attacked her.
06:39Maya ran for dear life.
06:42The tiger chased her right to the edge of the cliff.
06:45Maya was scared.
06:46She knew the tiger would not spare her.
06:49My baby.
06:51Oh, my dear Roma.
06:59Who's Roma?
07:02My calf.
07:03She's just three weeks old, and she needs her mother.
07:08I, too, need some food.
07:10I am hungry.
07:11I... I know, but...
07:13Prepare to die.
07:14I am sorry, but these are the rules of the jungle.
07:18Just one day.
07:19Just give me one more day.
07:21Just let me say goodbye to my baby.
07:23Please.
07:24What do you mean?
07:26Let me go back to the farm tonight, and I shall return here tomorrow.
07:30You are welcome to eat me then.
07:32Huh!
07:33Are you serious?
07:34What makes you think I will trust you?
07:36Don't trust me, but do trust a mother.
07:39I strayed away from the herd only to get fresh grass for my daughter.
07:43Prepare to die.
07:44Prepare to die.
07:56Are you all right?
08:02You...
08:02You saved my life.
08:04I guess.
08:05Why?
08:07I was coming to eat you.
08:08I...
08:09I just...
08:10Could not...
08:12Not help.
08:13Fine.
08:14I will let you go for this evening.
08:17But you must come back tomorrow so that I can eat you.
08:20I promise.
08:22You saved my life.
08:24I spared yours for one night.
08:26Go now!
08:28Maya came back home, sad.
08:31Maya!
08:31You're back!
08:32Now you're never going back to the jungle again.
08:44Now, now.
08:45I will have to go to the jungle.
08:48So will you when you get a little older.
08:50We need to have our grass, you know.
08:52But...
08:53The world is dangerous, but that's no reason for us to stop living.
08:57There are bad things, but then there are so many good things, too.
09:02The sooner you learn that, darling, the happier you'll be.
09:06Mother, I know one good thing.
09:09You came back!
09:12Take care of her.
09:13All of you, please.
09:16Maya, of course.
09:18But why are you talking as though...
09:20I have to go back to the tiger tomorrow.
09:23What?
09:24I begged him to let me see my daughter one last time.
09:27And I promised to return.
09:29Don't be silly.
09:30You don't have to fulfill a promise like that.
09:32Yes.
09:33Think of your daughter.
09:34Not that evil, horrible tiger.
09:37No, no.
09:38He's not evil.
09:39Come on, Mother.
09:40He wants to eat you.
09:42He wants to eat me because he has to.
09:45Nature made him that way.
09:48We were built in such a way that we need to eat grass to be able to live.
09:52And a tiger is built in such a way that he needs to eat other animals
09:56to be able to live.
09:59Just as we get hungry, tigers get hungry too.
10:03But...
10:04It was nice of the tiger to let me return for one night.
10:08That's only because you saved his life.
10:11I followed you for a little distance and I saw what happened.
10:19If he doesn't eat, he will die anyway.
10:22I promised him that I won't let that happen.
10:25I must go to him tomorrow.
10:26Don't leave your daughter alone.
10:33Trust me.
10:34I know how it feels.
10:37But I am leaving her with such beautiful friends.
10:40Like you, Tee-Loo.
10:41And all of you.
10:42If I don't fulfill my promise,
10:45a part of me will die anyway.
10:47Because every time we lie out of fear,
10:49every time we are unfair to someone
10:51because we are afraid,
10:53a little part of us dies.
10:56A little part of the goodness in the world dies.
10:59I can't have such a world for my daughter.
11:01I must fulfill my promise.
11:03So, the next morning,
11:07when they all went out for grazing,
11:09Maya kissed her little girl goodbye.
11:14She went to where she had met the tiger the previous day
11:17and waited.
11:18Meanwhile, as the tiger was walking towards the spot,
11:21he was very restless.
11:23How could I trust her?
11:25What if she brings humans along to trap me?
11:28Why would anyone come to die?
11:31Wait.
11:31Is that her?
11:36So you came?
11:37Yes.
11:38Why do you want to die?
11:39I didn't come here to die.
11:41I came because I promised to help you live.
11:44You must have your food.
11:49You want me?
11:51A predator?
11:52To live?
11:53Nature's balance is perfect.
11:55Who am I to spoil it?
11:56If you respect nature so much,
11:58you shouldn't have strayed into my territory.
12:01Keeping yourself safe is the first rule of the jungle.
12:06You claim to love your daughter,
12:07and yet you put yourself in danger,
12:09knowing how much your baby needs you.
12:11I know.
12:12I made a mistake.
12:13A grave mistake.
12:14I shouldn't have left the safety of my herd.
12:17I should have been careful.
12:18And I am ready to pay for my mistake.
12:21Ah.
12:21Well, go away.
12:23Go back to your daughter.
12:25But...
12:25We tigers don't need to eat every day like you cows.
12:29I can go without eating for a day or two.
12:32I'll find another prey.
12:36So much.
12:38This world needs a little goodness, I guess.
12:41I am a predator.
12:42But I am not evil.
12:45Let me tell you, though.
12:47If you're not careful the next time,
12:49I will eat you.
12:50Right then and there.
12:52Oh.
12:53I will never...
12:54Now go away.
12:55Before you start looking like meat to me.
12:58Say hi to your daughter.
12:59Don't you ever stray into my territory again.
13:03You don't have to be afraid.
13:05But you must be careful.
13:08And so, Maya returned to her darling Roma that night,
13:13happy and wise.
13:15Her honesty and goodness had touched the tiger so much
13:19that it saved her life
13:20and added a little goodness into the world.
13:29in all words.
13:33When you bought a new place,
13:35it's at the efic'ry so much better than it was a big deal.
13:39At the garden,
13:40we had to
13:56you
