How did you get into this situation? You're not too sure, but what you do know is that you're being chased by a tiger and, in the circumstances, doing pretty well.
You're not the most committed member of the gym club, but you've run as fast as you can.
Only now, you've reached the edge of a cliff, with a steep drop below. Do you go forward or back?
There's really no choice, because the trotting tiger is catching up and closing in behind you.
You grab a strong vine, hold tight and, throwing caution to the wind, begin to shin down the rock face.
It's only then you realise that it's worse than you thought; considerably so. There's another tiger, equally large, waiting for you at the bottom of the cliff.
And not only that, a mouse is chewing at the vine which supports you.
Caught between these two killer cats - one at the top, the other at the bottom - and with a mouse gnawing at your security, you now notice a strawberry growing on the cliff face.
It's invitingly red and succulent, so you eat it. Wonderful! Perhaps the best strawberry you've ever tasted; really very good indeed.
They do say that the origin of happiness is to be able to live in the moment.
