Some people were intrigued and wanted to know more about the story behind it. However there were also lots of people who would laugh at him or talk about him like he was crazy. Joseph became the talk of the town. Then, one day, he received an unexpected offer.
Officials from a nearby zoo had heard about the tiger cubs and were interested in buying them for their collection. They offered Joseph a large sum of money, more than he had ever seen in his life.
