The story is based on the fact that there is a tiger roaming freely where Isabel is staying for the summer. This fact she conveys to her mother through letters. In reality the tiger is an abstract entity that is used to convey unpleasant and traumatizing facts of life. In reality, kid signifies the tiger. The very presence of Kid terrifies Rema. This is true because Kid is not afraid to inflict physical violence when he is angered or when things do not go his way. For example when Nino accidently breaks the window with the ball hitting it. At this point Kid grabs Nino and starts hitting him. Even while hitting Nino, Kid is seen staring angrily at Rema. As Isabel admires Rema, she tries to take revenge on Kid.
