Absolutely wonderful, and WHAT a blast from the past, too!
Growing up, I had a tiger plush my mother bought from an old restaurant chain called 'Sambos'. Picture a Denny's but with a 'India Hunting Theme' all over the place. So yeah, bearers and 'Great White Hunters' (a main reason this chain of dining places folded I imagine? The implicit racism?), and of course,,,
Tigers!
Tigers hiding EVERYWHERE! I remember trying to find them all, counting and getting different numbers every time we visited (I was all of about five?).
But yeah, that plush. I carried that thing with me EVERYWHERE. And boy, did 'Imagination' run amok in my little kids' mind! Come to think of it, still does, now that I'm olde and decrepit? lol
Thx for sharing this. So much fun!
