The Devil Tiger
Illustration★★Eric B. Hare describes an encounter he observed between a tiger and a sambar, a type of deer, in the jungles of Burma. The tiger mimicked the call of the sambar, luring it closer and closer. When the sambar was within range the tiger roared, freezing the sambar in its tracks. The poor sambar was only looking for fun and games, but he became a meal for the tiger.
The point
A tiger's deceptive mimicry lures a deer to its doom, picturing how sin baits us with what seems like harmless fun.
