The Three~Legged Tiger

The fourth story in the Lost Forest series sees life in the forest being as unpredictable as ever...

Once there was a time when after breakfast there was nothing... Nothing except the stork being chased, nothing except a tiger falling from the sky, nothing except two tree monkeys discussing tea... Oh, a tiger falling from the sky?
"My name is Typhon-the-Tiger and I am the last of the great Greek tigers." And so begins not so much an adventure but a series of discoveries. Some are unsettling; at one point the stork is perturbed by the thought, of all things, zombie African bush squirrel babies! Others are quite deadly; what is the cause of wild and strange hypnotise? What happened in a certain valley in Peru and will it happen in the Lost Forest? What is the difference between High Tea and Afternoon Tea? And what does yak butter tea have to do with any of this?

Then there is the dragon...the stork tells Typhon to let him know when it's all sorted. Sorted how? Does the Sloth of Gloom know? What about the chess playing hyenas? But before all this, Typhon-the-Tiger smiled, “You must have done something very bad to have upset that many hippo and rhino beasts.” Yes, but who upset them?

Grumpy lions, unreliable griffon vultures, the Cape Vultures Aerobatic Team, a stripe-stripped zebra all mix and swirl together around the Typhon-the-Tiger, the Last of the Great Greek Tigers, the stork and the two tree monkeys and their quest to defeat the one known as... "a name that is spoken only in hushed whispers…"

How will it all end? Hopefully with a well-stocked larder, at least that is what the tree monkeys hope. But before then there is much, much to discover.
