The Tiger's Bride

In a reckless moment, a woman gave her own daughter away to be the bride of a tiger! You can compare this simple Santal folktale to the more elaborate fairy tale from southern India: The Brahmin Girl who Married a Tiger.

The story is just 500 words long, so it will take just a few minutes to read, or five minutes if you are reading out loud.
