ROWR!  There was Tiger! "Hello, Mouse Deer. I was just getting hungry. Now you can be my lunch." Mouse Deer didn't want to be lunch. He looked around and thought fast. He saw a mud puddle. "I'm sorry, Tiger. I can't be your lunch. The King has ordered me to guard his pudding." "His pudding?" said Tiger. "Yes. There it is." Mouse Deer pointed to the mud puddle. "It has the best taste in the world. The King doesn't want anyone else to eat it." Tiger looked longingly at the puddle. "I would like to taste the King's pudding." "Oh, no, Tiger! The King would be very angry." "Just one little taste, Mouse Deer! The King will never know." "Well, all right, Tiger. But first let me run far away, so no one will blame me." ## Images ![The Adventures of Mouse Deer: Favorite Folk Tales of Southeast Asia - Image 1](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/615-UKeLMbL.jpg) ![The Adventures of Mouse Deer: Favorite Folk Tales of Southeast Asia - Image 2](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61wdDxpp6HL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/42780273-the-adventures-of-mouse-deer-favorite-folk-tales-of-southeast](https://www.desertcart.us/products/42780273-the-adventures-of-mouse-deer-favorite-folk-tales-of-southeast) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-01*
