Never wake the sleeping tiger. A vigil, held only for those who have, is held every year by those who have not. It serves as a reminder not to take on more than you can handle. No one has entered the tiger's den; has discovered its secrets. What could the tiger hide so dearly that it would protect it with its life. The tiger rests most of the day and sleeps very little. It only moves when necessary. Its eyes follow you from side to side as it lays their resting, swiping at those who come too close. Still people provoke the tiger, thinking they can outsmart the apex predator into giving up its secrets. It hunts at night but does not always succeed. But just when the tiger has finished its hunt it comes back home to sleep. And when the tiger lay still and motionless, those stupid enough to challenge it while sneak upon the tiger and unknowingly bring the tigers next meal right to it. The tiger is sleeping, not dead.
