A lunch-time adventure

I have just tamed the mighty king of the jungle! The man-eating tiger was so calm under my influence you'd have thought him plastic. He did not attack as everyone expected, but he let me climb upon his back and then whisked me along with a strange pack of horses, pigs, ostriches, giraffes, and eagles. Never once did I fear, for though he would leap high, I knew I was master over this savage beast, and all the while a gentle, carnivalesque music kissed my ears.
