Tambun Gediu, now badly hurt and staying in hospital, says it was his wife that saved his life from the mouth of a tiger.

    "I was 1 a rabbit in the forest not far from my home and was ready to catch it when I saw the 2. That's when I realized that I was being followed," said Mr. Gediu. The tiger jumped at Mr Gediu at once.  He stood there with great 3 so that he did not know what to do for a moment, and then he tried 4 a tree to keep away from the animal, 5 he was pulled down by the tiger.

    His wife, 55-year-old Han Besau, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise, realizing it was coming from the 6 where her husband was looking for rabbits and she 7 the nearest "weapon (武器)" -a wooden ladle(长柄勺)-rushed out of the 8 and into the nearby forest. Seeing her husband 9 hard to stop the tiger tearing（撕裂）him into pieces, she ran 10 to the animal, shouting at the top of her voice and hitting its head with the ladle until it ran off.

    Tambun had to wait more than 3 hours before he could be taken to hospital in the nearest town, Gerik, because his village was very far.

    It was the first time that a tiger had attacked someone in the village.

    It was a Friday evening. I was waiting at the bus stop after school when a car stopped and the driver opened the door. It was my 1. “Quick, get in!” he told me. I was very 2, but I did as he said.

    At first, I was worried that something 3 happened. Then, I noticed my mother. She was also 4 the car and on the back seat. There were some bags of clothes and 5 food. My father was driving the car, but he was not driving 6. He was driving out of the town. “Where are we going?” I asked.

    It was a warm evening and lots of people were walking along the road. It was the 7 day of term. Did my parents have a big surprise for me? We were going somewhere special — 8 where? The next thing I can remember is falling 9. When I woke up, I saw the sea. We were at the beach. My father was smiling. “Here we are,” he said, “the summer holiday 10 now!”
