This is 5 stars its wisdom (and its fun). :)
1. You have to begin before you can finish.
2. Don't argue with a hungry tiger.
3. Gather coconuts while you can.
4. Don't go in the water alone.
5. Keep promises.
6. Take turns.
7. I do not like the tiger at all.
8. We will not know unless we try but if it doesn't work -- good-bye.
9. It's much better to laugh at a tiger than to let him eat you.
10. Even a tiger needs friends.

Another of my favorite books of all time. A very Kipling-esque tale: Nunga Punga was tall and thin and the Booch was short and round, so when they walked together they looked like a 10. They were always plagued by a hungry tiger, and spent a lot of time trying to outsmart him. They also wrote a book of truths to live by (like "Don't make Tiger angry") and each chapter ends with one of them.
