- Why
on earth did I do that, wondered mother.
- I don't know but usually something annoyed you. It could have been a small
thing like that we would refuse to buy you another ice cream cone, or that we
insisted that you buckle your seat belt. When you became angry you simply could
not stop it. That was when we said that the tiger inside you had lost its temper.
Mother
thought for a moment. Then she remembered that as a child she had in fact made
a drawing of her inner tiger. She had the feeling
that she still had that
picture in a box that contained memories from her childhood. She remembered that
her tiger had been so fierce that even she was afraid of it.
- Linda is like that too. She has difficulties stopping her fury even when she
wants to.
