The Hungry Tiger of Oz |
|
The Hungry Tiger of Oz is complaining about his
hunger once again, but this time, he gets a way
to make it go away. While playing hide and seek,
he is found by Ippty, the Chief Scribe of Rash,
a kingdom in Ev. The Hungry Tiger accepts Ippty's
proposal to make the Hungry Tiger the jailer of
the prison of Rash and the eater of all prisoners
who are condemned to die. However, when the Hungry
Tiger gets to Rash, he is locked up, and forced to
eat prisoners who did nothing but annoy the
evil Pasha of Rash. Then Betsy Bobbin and Carter
Green, a strange man made of vegetables, arrive,
who came to Ev by way of a winding
road. One of the next prisoners to be thrown to the
Hungry Tiger is a small boy, who is explained as
the Scarlet Prince, the rightful ruler of Rash.
Determined to put Reddy (the Scarlet Prince), on
the throne the Hungry Tiger tries to find a way out
of the prison with Reddy, Betsy, Carter, and all
the other prisoners. They find a secret way from
a cavern underneath the pavement and fall down into
Down Town.
