Summary
Tigre went on his journey that his grandma told him to go. He was exhausting and also as now because Tigre is the only man in the family that grandma depends on. Even after he came back from his journey, he kept working with his ax, not forgetting how scared he was on his last journey. Working day and night, his fingers bled, his nails broke, but he thought how his father worked hard before. Then his mom gave birth to his little brother, Chan Tata. He missed out his lessons at school during the day working, and after he worked, he would study in the evening. One day there was a dead hen in the chicken house. One after another hens kept on dying. Tigre and his mom thought that because of a hole a vampire bat is killing the hens. Later when almost all the chickens and hens were gone, Tigre realized that the vampire bat was in the chicken house the whole time.
