Panda and Tiger

So. Someone in school wanted a short story about a Panda and a Tiger, so here it is! I never finished it. :P
Panda and Tiger

Tiger's POV
I stalked through my jungle, being king of every living creature. I padded with pride, passing birds who bowed in my presence. I stood tall, keeping my eyes keen for anything who dared defy me. I passed a small clearing, a female Panda feeding on bamboo inside. She glanced up at me, then continued eating. She didn't bow. I growled, stalking in. "You dare defy me?!" I growled. She looked up, not afraid nor surprised. "Why can't I? I live here, and always have" she said, taking a bite of bamboo. "Well, I'm king" I snapped back, loosing my temper. "Oh yes? Well, no king of I would be so rude and cold-hearted" She said, looking at me calmly. "I'm king of the whole jungle, and anything inside!" I roared, baring my teeth. She didn't even flinch. "You may. But, the king would never hurt or anger the people he watches" she said, putting down her bamboo to look at me. I growled. "Every animal either bows down to me, or is killed". "Well, I'd rather die then be stuck under your rule" she said cooly. "I won't kill you... I'll kick you out of my jungle though" I growled, realizing if I killed her, I couldn't be king. "Alright. I'll find another" she responded. "Fine. Stay. But, you must listen to my rules and bow down when you see me". "Alright" she nodded, beginning to eat again. She paused, bowing down before me, then continuing on her day. I calmed, storming out. I padded down to the lake, lapping at the cool water. I laid down, stretching in the dappled sunlight. I curled my tail around my paws, sleep taking over. When I woke, I saw the panda lapping from the lake, not bowing nor asking if she could. "You must bow, and also ask before drinking" I snapped. "Alright" she said, bowing and stepping away through the ferns and brush. I grumbled, heading back to my cave.
