An Emotional Meeting Part 2

Thank you all for the wonderful feedback I got of my yesterday's tiger blip!

I need to get some details straight so that no one thinks that we have been in real danger with Joni meeting the tiger yesterday. I told on my yesterday's journal that we climbed over the safety fence with Joni.

So we did and it was of course forbidden because the cage bars are not very dense. If someone puts a hand close to the cage bars it might be possible to loose it. We did not go into the cage, if anyone thought that!

Then someone wondered if we met with any guard there. As a matter of fact we did. After the fantastic incident of getting in such close contact with the tiger we were really excited with Joni and after the short astonished silent moment we both started to wow the situation.

When we finally decided that we got what we wanted and even more we turned around to go further. Then we saw this man with a long beard standing a meter from us. He had his Korkeasaari-jacket on and he was a guard. We did not notice the guard arriving because of what had been going on and he had probably stood there for a while.

The guard started to tell us about the facts that we had been on a forbidden area and how dangerous it could be. He was very strict but not in a bad way.

As we were still in the ecstatic state with Joni and we started to explain to the guard that we had been so spellbound of the meeting with the tiger and getting it captured. The guard smiled to us and said: "I could see that!"
