AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

A small creature it determined that it is a tiger.  It has the tail, it can climb a tree, it can hunt for its lunch.  When a real tiger comes along, it convinces that it is actually a mouse.  And the raccoon is a caterpillar and the snake is a banana.

Welcome to the absurd. The utter conviction of the mouse is a lesson on how anyone and anything can convince themselves that a fallacy is true. The hope is that anyone who reads this would understand how ridiculous the mouse is being and that its behavior is actually not appropriate.
