- This is the way you tame tigers explained grandpa. First you wake up your tiger and then when it is really angry, you suddenly calm it down. If you want, I can show you how good I am at taming my tiger. Shall I show you? Asked grandpa.
- You don't have to, said mother, I think Linda already has quite a good idea of how to do it.

Linda nodded. She found the thought of her grandfather throwing a tantrum on the lawn amusing, but it was not something she wanted to happen for real. In fact she was afraid that some of her friends would find out that her family was so strange that the adults threw themselves on the ground to have tantrums for no reason at all.
