A lonely tiger asks the great Shao how many cubs she will have. He responds that she will have nine cubs each year, but only if she remembers to sing the words he teaches her. In this Hmong folk tale from Laos, a clever bird, fearing too many tigers in the world, tricks Tiger into singing “One-in-nine” instead of the story title.
