Deep Themes

A man fleeing a tiger over a cliff catches a wild vine and hangs above an abyss, where another tiger waits below. Two mice, one white and one black, begin gnawing the vine. Beside him, he sees a single ripe wild strawberry. Holding the vine with one hand, he plucks it and eats it. "How sweet it tasted!"
