Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The tiger feels very helpless in the cage. He stares with hope at the brilliant stars shining in the sky. He hopes for the day when he would be able to run free in the wild.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tiger belongs in the wild where he can roam freely under the stars. However, in reality, he is kept in a small cage in a zoo. The tiger looks at the stars from within his cage because he hopes for a day that he can be free to roam under the stars again.
