movieguy Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Woman hospitalised by tiger painting A Chinese pensioner had to be taken to hospital after she mistook a painting of a tiger for the real thing. The woman, in her 70s, spotted the 'tiger' in a dark alleyway after shopping at a nearby supermarket. According to Shanghai Evening Post, she screamed, turned and ran after seeing a 'tiger' coming at her. But the woman, who the paper named as Mrs Wang, slipped on ice and fell heavily. Passersby rushed to Mrs Wang's aid to find her nervously stammering: "Tiger, tiger, there's a tiger" and pointing down the alleyway. But the tiger turned out to be a painting hung in a calligraphy and painting shop window. To draw business, the shop owner had put a light behind the paint to create a lifelike impression. www.ananova.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
