The Friendly Tiger with Big Teeth

Once upon a time in a far-off jungle, there was a tiger named Timmy. Timmy was a proud tiger with sharp claws and big teeth. However, he had a big problem. Timmy was worried that he was scaring everybody with his big teeth. He would see other animals scampering away from him whenever he came across them. Even the birds would stop chirping and fly away when he appeared. Timmy used to practice smiling in front of the mirror so that he wouldn't look so scary. But alas, it was no use. He was still the same old Timmy, the tiger with the big teeth. One day, while Timmy was lounging by the river, he saw a group of baby monkeys playing near the water. He thought to himself, "How cute! Let me see if they want to be friends." So, he slowly walked towards them, hoping they wouldn't get scared. But as soon as they saw those sharp teeth, they bolted. Timmy was disappointed but not surprised. Then, something funny happened. An old monkey came to Timmy and said, "My dear young tiger, your problem is not your big teeth but how you use them. You see, you should smile more often like this." And with those words, the monkey showed Timmy his wrinkled face, with a big, toothless grin. Timmy was very surprised. He had never thought that a smile could be so important. And so, he said goodbye to the old monkey and went back to his den. As soon as he got home, he started practicing his new skill, smiling from ear to ear in front of the mirror. And before he knew it, the forest was a much more cheerful place, with all animals happy to see Timmy's new friendly smile. From that day on, Timmy made new friends and was much happier. He learned that it was not his big teeth that were the problem, but how he used them. And so, he lived happily ever after. The moral of the story is Don't judge a book by its cover. Even though someone may look scary on the outside, they might turn out to be very friendly and kind.
