First Line: At times, returning from the chase
Last Line: To stretch content upon the floor!
Subject(s): Animals; Cats; Hunger; Hunting; Tigers; Hunters
At times, returning from the chase,
(A flint spear was his weapon then)
This sinuous beast with awful face,
Awaited him within his den.
Well-sated with its tasty food,
A plump and tender boy of four,
The giant cat was in a mood
To stretch content upon the floor!
