The end of the year is upon us once again, dear friends, and this time the tigers have a grander plan than mere cards or trees. No earthbound venture, this: it's time for
Tigs in Spaaaaaaace
[sotto voce: I think I might be in trouble for that one]
The tigers have chosen to go to the moon this december, not because it is easy, or because it is hard, but because the moon is shiny, and shiny things are almost always treasure of some kind.
While a rocket was, very helpfully,
supplied by external sources, it did arrive at the fort in a number of pieces, rather than ready for launch. Fortunately, complete instructions were provided, which the tigers were careful to study during construction.
Obviously, constructing a space vehicle requires precision and careful teamwork.
Remember, it's important to take breaks to avoid making mistakes.
But soon enough, the first stage of the majestic rocket was complete, and ready for the team to take turns playing "king of the castle":
Days of further effort permitted the completion of the second and third stages; unfortunately the supplier has made a mistake in the writing on the second stage, and the word "Stripes" in "United Stripey Assembly" is misspelt, but it is hoped that this will prove rectifiable without damage to the launch vehicle.
Finally, the tiger-team are almost ready, and the launch-day is nearly upon us. What treasures might the universe provide to such bold inves
tigators? We shall have to wait and find out!
Wishing you all a merry tigmas, and a stripey, happy, and prosperous year to follow!
