There he met a tiger. Tiger said to him, “Little Sambo, I am going to eat you up.” Little Sambo said, “Oh, please, Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up. I will give you my red coat.” Tiger said, “Very well, I will not eat you.”

Little Sambo gave his red coat to Tiger. Tiger took the coat and went away. Little Sambo went on. He met another tiger. This Tiger also said, “Little Sambo, I’am going to eat you up.”  Little Sambo said, “Oh, please, Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up. I will give you my blue trousers.” The second Tiger took the trousers and went away.

Little Sambo went on. He met another Tiger. The third Tiger said to him, “Little Sambo, I am going to eat you up.”  Little Sambo said, “Oh, please, Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up. I will give you my purple shoes.” The third tiger decided to wear the pair of shoes on his ears. He then went away.

Further on, Little Sambo met another Tiger. The fourth Tiger said, “Little Sambo, I am going to eat you up.” Little Sambo said, “Oh, please, Mr. Tiger, don’t eat me up. I will give you my green shirt. The tiger took the shirt and went away.
