The White Tiger - Must Read.. Long ago in a village near the Kumgang Mountains in Korea there lived a young boy. His father had been missing since he was a baby, and the boy knew very well the reason why. Andrew, age 6 An enormous White Tiger still lived in the Kumgang Mountains who had tormented the village for years, coming down to prey not only on horses and cattle, but even on the human beings who lived there. Years ago, his father, who had been the finest hunter and gunman in the land, ventured into the Kumgang Mountains to shoot the White Tiger and to save the village. He had never returned. When the boy was still small he already decided deep in his heart that when he grew up, he would be the one to shoot down the tiger that had overpowered his father. As soon as he was allowed, he trained rigorously with the gun and became almost as good a gunman as his father had been. When he was fifteen years old, the boy went to his mother and said, Mother, Im ready now to set out for the Kumgang Mountains to find the White Tiger and defeat him. Please, let me go. The mother did not want to lose her son, too. With tears in her eyes, she said, Even a famous marksman like your father was lost to the terrible White Tiger. Please, son, quit dreaming about such nonsense and stay safe here at home. Dont worry, Mother, the son cried. I shall find the White Tiger, I know it!.

So he gave up his idea of going to the mountains and instead, practiced three more years with the gun. After three years, he tried again. This time he succeeded in knocking off the handle of the water jug on his mothers head without spilling a drop of water. Then the mother said, Actually son, your father was able to shoot the eye out of a needle from one mile away. Can you do this?. The son asked his mother to place a needle in a tree trunk. Then he walked back for one mile. Taking careful aim, he let go a shot, but missed. Once again, he gave up the idea of going to the Kumgang Mountains and settled down to another three years of practicing even harder. At the end of three years, he was 21 years old by that time, he again tried the same trick. This time, with the crack of his gun, the eye of the needle fell to the ground. Now in fact, what the mother had told her son about the amazing feats his father used to be able to do, were all lies. The mother had thought that if she told him impossible tales about the father, that the boy might give up his crazy idea of seeking the terrible White Tiger Continue reading :== > life-my-destiny.blogspot.in/2013/10/the-white-tiger-must-read.html
