Your Domestic Mice Hunter
is a close relative of a tiger –
remember about due respect for him.

You can already see the black and yellow stripes of a tiger
from a distance and then you are overcome by fear.

Do not reveal your fright at the sight of a tiger
as he may consider you his equal.

ANALYSIS:
You stand in front of Somebody and... you can easily lose your heart.

For fear of an authority.
No, no ... I do not recommend you joyfully pat Somebody’s
(or even SOMEBODY’S!) shoulder.
It lies in human nature to feel somewhat apprehensive of an authority.

In his presence – as if he was striped black and yellow – even scoundrels subside
and only sometimes one of them sneaks up on him from the back only to later brag about whom he struck down.

For it is typical of scoundrels and all people-rats
not to be able to face a tiger and stand up to him.
Mind you, even a kitten deserves due respect as a relative of a tiger.
