Banana King has a man's body, and is therefore slower than a fresh Tiger or Leaper. Right now, however, the Tiger is exhausted and everyone else is a man.

Banana King begins a distracting ritual while iamatiger tries to summon the energy to slink away...

Unfortunately a milkshake is not possible, because there is no milk, and while he has banana skins, he does not have ripe bananas...

If iamatiger goes toward Banana King he will be moving toward the strangers as per the diagram on the previous page.

As people shift about, the runner sees the tiger!

Banana King and his band of hunter gatherers are hungry and there is no fruit available. They need meat!

The Banana King is able to make the runner slip on a banana peel and hit his head just as he was about to tell his friends about the tiger. In the confusion, the tiger is able to slink away, and the men pick up their prey and carry it off, shaking their spears threateningly at Banana King.

There is no need to go into the forest for animals. There are animals everywhere! The Banana Tribe wandered out here because there was no food in the forest.

There is a nearby river also, and the tiger is able to quench his thirst and rest. Nearby are many other large animals of the open plains, Hoofers and Leapers, Behemoths and Fat Waders, and all sorts of strange herd animals and scavengers.

This is the geography of the immediate area. The animals are not shown on the map. Where would you like to put the first trap?



The white pawns are the forest. Black pawns are the river.

Banana king is wise and powerful, signal to him that bananas should be put beyond the animals (maybe between the animals and the forest) so that they will run into in them and slip when I chase them.

If he signals that this is done, chase the animals towards the slippery yellow skins.

The Banana King spends a hot day's work putting a trap near the forest, and then hides in the trees, while iamatiger, thirst quenched, belly rumbling, lurks out in the grass:



The white pawns are the forest. Black pawns are the river. The Bishop is a slipping-trap. Animals are all around, wandering back and forth, drinking water, squabbling, etc.

The black Rook is a large hoofed herd animal that has wandered into position. It has mighty horns, much muscle, but poor eyesight. There are other animals about as well, but they are not pictured. This one has wandered away from the herd.

Everyone is very hungry.
