To understand how bad is lying, we read this book. " Do not do usury. It is similar to fornication with your mother. It is similar to declaring war with God " .

Tiger looks down, and says, hey buddy, what is wrong, come here, come up to me. Take this ice cream and cool down. Tell me what is going on. Then he hugs the chicken and kisses her and gives her ice cream and talks with her to know what is wrong. Tiger does is not hurt and is offended in the first place. There is no reason for him to forgive the chicken. He knows he is the tiger and he knows it is a chicken and it really does not hurt him at all, what ever kick and swear chicken does, has no effect on him.
