This is a fable from ancient India.
A hermit with magical powers transforms a mouse into a cat, then a dog, and then a tiger. As it changes from mouse to other animals, the hermit's pet also becomes increasingly vain. The tiger soon becomes too arrogant for his own good in this parable about excessive pride and ingratitude.
