Followed by a Tiger

I'm being followed by a tiger. I'm in the "Bibles for Missions" thrift store, there's a low probability of treasure, but I'm searching nonetheless.

It's handy to my house. 

And there's a little 5 year old boy, cute, he's found a tiger mask in the store and he's stalking me. 

I showed fear, which you should never do with tigers, and when he lifts his mask I warn him of the tiger on the loose in the store.

He appears unconcerned.

I tell him the store has called a hunter, who will probably come and poach the tiger when he sees it, so if he, the little boy, sees the tiger he should warn him.

He grins broadly.

"No, it's serious" I tell him and wonder where his mom is. "You never see tigers any more, it's because the hunters have got them all. Go find the tiger and warn him".

He eventually toddles off to hide in an aisle and find another victim. Which is why you don't see tigers in the wild anymore, they don't listen to reason.
