Chandigarh, India. A four-year-old boy is at home watching TV. He goes to the kitchen and tells his mother, "There's a tiger in the bedroom." She laughs, thinking he is talking about a TV program. Later, she looks into the bedroom. She is horrified by what she sees. There's a leopard watching TV on the bed! She grabs her son and runs away. The leopard soon turns over and falls asleep.
