Hermit saw a mouse who was a crow's prey. Hermit saved the mouse, and protected him so much that Hermit changed the mouse's being. Hermit changed the mouse into a cat, a dog, and a tiger. The mouse, who is now a tiger became prideful and tried to eat Hermit. Hermit was aware of the tiger's plan and sent the tiger back into a mouse, and into the forest.
This is a tale, traditional literature, from India. This book conveys a good message; to stay humble no matter much success or growth is given to you. I would use this book as a read aloud in my classroom. Students could also participate in an activity, the changes of the mouse character.
