They rode for what seemed to be a long time (but really wasn't) through many rolling pastures and fields. Blanca came to as gentle a stop as she could muster considering her passenger. They landed right in front of a stack of hay bales, which obviously looked mighty tasty to Blanca. " Here, try some of this," she offered. As hard as he tried, Thomas could not stuff any of that straw down his tiny throat. "Is this the only thing you have to eat?" He inquired. " Perhaps you're not a horse after all. Every horse likes to eat straw!" She said. " Let me bring you over to a friend of mine. He lives a very sad existence since his owner keeps him in a fenced in area all day long. He told me he accidentally stepped into a trap after roaming free in the jungles of Northern India for most of his life. You may not be the same type of animal as he is, but I'm sure he would enjoy your company."
Thomas' curiosity was now sufficiently aroused. What kind of animal can be trapped in a place so very far away? It wasn't long before he had the answer! Blanca gave him a ride around the corner to a large fenced in area with high walls. As he peered over it not knowing what to expect- there it was. The ten feet long, 500 pounds cat looked vaguely familiar. It was a white Bengal tiger brought over from Asia to be transported to the confines of a zoo. Temporarily, it was being kept at the local game preserve where they were. But there was something recognizable about this beautiful creature.
