and went away saying,
"Now I'm the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."

And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger,
and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And
Little Black Sambo said, "Oh! Please Mr. Tiger, don't eat me up, and
I'll give you my beautiful little Blue Trousers." So the Tiger said,
"Very well, I won't eat you this time, but you must give me your
beautiful little Blue Trousers." So the Tiger got poor Little Black
Sambo's beautiful little Blue Trousers, and went away saying, "Now I'm
the grandest Tiger in the Jungle."

And Little Black Sambo went on, and by and by he met another Tiger,
and it said to him, "Little Black Sambo, I'm going to eat you up!" And
