| Black bread with honey— A friend of mine stayed in a hotel in India and the manager gave this to her for stomachache. It really works. Just take a piece of bread and toast it until it’s black. Then put honey on the bread and eat it. It doesn’t look good, but it can really help. So if you get stomachache, try this remedy (治疗法). |

Tigers are strong and dangerous animals. But now they are in danger.

They’re in danger of dying out. If the government does nothing, we won’t be able to see them in ten to twenty years.
