One day, after collecting firewood from the forest, Zhao Zan was on his way home. His mother was in the yard preparing to cook dinner. Then, a tiger ran into the village and directly into Zan’s yard. At that moment, Zan arrived at the village and all the villagers called out to him, “Don’t go home, a tiger just ran over there!”
Upon hearing this, Zan immediately thought of his mother’s safety. He took his pole and rushed to his yard. The tiger was just coming out of the yard with his mother in its mouth. Using all his strength, Zan beat the tiger with the pole. The yard was so narrow that the tiger could not turn its body with a person in its mouth, and neither could it fight back. The tiger received heavy and repeated blows from Zan. Finally, it put his mother down and turned to attack Zan.
