Every day she would climb through mountains and go into the marketplace where she would sell these rice cakes. And everyday she will come back climb maybe three mountains to bring her two children food. One day while going back home with a basket of leftover rice cakes upon her head, she meets a tiger. The tiger says to her if you give me one rice cake, I won't eat you. And so she says, Please, these are for my kids. They have been starving all day. But the tiger proceeds if you give me one rice cake I won't eat you and so the mother gets a tiger one rice cake but the tiger goes on again if you give me another rice cake I won't eat you tried to save some food for children she refuses have heard a tiger is too threatening not to relate to. And so this goes on over and over again until the mother has no rice cake left to give. The tiger says again if you give me another rice cake I won't eat you. The mother says trembling. I don't have any more rice cake. And so the tiger calls her up. But the tiger is still unsatisfied. He puts on the mother's clothes and walks to her house. Knocking on the door he tells the children to open up the door the son says to the daughter that doesn't sound like a mother.
