When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo (2020) Tor.com

Our favored monk, Chih is back and recording more stories, this time without Almost Brilliant.  She finds herself stopped just short of her destination aboard a mammoth for the night by a set of Tiger sisters.  After a desperate run for shelter, Chih starts telling stories to the tigers, who keep telling her what is wrong with the stories and correcting them.  They promise to let the mammoth go if Chih will record the correct version of the stories, if they don’t eat her.

An engaging storytelling that keeps you turning the page.
