Once upon a time, there were no donkeys in Guizhou. A good man brought a donkey from the north and put it at the foot of the mountain to eat grass. The tiger on the mountain found this huge thing. At first, he had to look at it from a distance. Then he approached the donkey slowly. He was frightened by the donkey's shouting. Later, he found that the donkey could only kick it with its hooves and had no other skills. So he jumped up to have a good meal
