Tiger Bought by Accident

Have you ever bought anything by mistake? 你曾經買錯東西嗎? Like the wrong
flavor of ice cream or a weird toothpaste?

I have! I've bought the wrong thing before, but even if it wasn't what I
wanted, it was never dangerous or against the law!
就算買到了不是我要的，也不會是危險、或是違法的東西。

Unlike a couple in France who wanted a new pet. They were looking for a
special kind of cat called a Savannah
cat.法國有一對夫妻，想買一種很特別的貓。

They found what they thought was a Savannah cat online and paid a lot of
money for it.他們在網路上找到了，並且花很多錢買下來。

They got the cat but after a few days, they thought something wasn't quite
right.幾天後，發現不太對勁。

The cat... wasn't actually the cat they thought it was… It was… a tiger!
他們買的貓，原來是老虎！

Okay, it was only a little tiger cub but still… it was a tiger!
雖然是小老虎，可是...，牠還是老虎！

Tigers are endangered. Which means there are not a lot of them left in the
world. 世界上的老虎已經不多了。

So this is serious. The people that sold the tiger to the couple in France,
are in big trouble with the police. 賣老虎給這對夫妻的人，後來被警察抓了！

Don't worry about the tiger, it's now safe and healthy.
不用擔心，小老虎現在安全又健康。

But, from now on, remember, always check before you buy!
