A gnat questions whether to be friend or foe to a tiger, is mocked, then stings the tiger inside its nostril. The tiger roars, thrashes, and fails to crush the gnat, learning that even the small can harm the mighty. The tale ends with the message that even the smallest person or creature can wield influence over others.
