He told the tigers to say something if they want to keep the fine clothes they took from him but if not then don't say something. The tigers were to caught up fighting each other to say anything and he knew that. I don't necessarily think that is something children need to learn from a book. I think there is a better way to communicate especially for children. a b "Massachusetts asks ban on 'Sambo's' name". The Miami News. 27 September 1978. p.4a.
