3.would have to die. As said by the astrologers: - the child would become warrior of warriors, king of the kings, hero of the heroes but he would have to die. 4. Amazing thing that happened was that the 10 –day old child was speaking and that too that very elder and old people say. 5.The tiger king spoke that all those who take birth must die one day, we don’t need your predictions It would make sense when you tell them how he would die. 6.The chief astrologer said that as he was born in the month of bull, and as bull and tigers are enemies so the death would come from a tiger. 7. As thought that after hearing the word “tiger” the king would be terrified nothing of that sort happened but he spoke the words “let the tigers be aware.”. Question} how was the tiger king brought up? Answer} the tiger king was given the milk of an English cow; he was brought up by an English nanny, He was thought by an English tutor in English, he saw only English films and none other. This was the same as done in the other states in the rest of India

Phase 2 1.But the astrologer’s prediction was remembered. 2. Slowly but this fact came into the ears of the king. 3. Hearing this king went on the hunting of the tigers, when he went on hunting and he killed the first tiger he was thrilled beyond any measure. 4.When he killed the first tiger he sent the dead beast to the astrologer and told them to see the dead beast. 5. The astrologer said that you may kill the 99 tigers but you must be very careful with the 100th tiger. 6. hearing this the tiger king said that what if the 100th tiger was also killed the astrologer said that if it happened so he would cut his tuft and crop his hair short and would become an insurance agent.

Phase 3 1.The tiger king has put a prohibition on the killing of the tigers except the Maharaja.

2.It was proclaimed that if anyone even tried to fling a stone on a tiger his all the property would be confiscated. 3.The king said that he would attend any matter after the killing of the 100 tigers =>this proves that the king was nota good king as he said that he would attend any matter after the killing of the 100 tigers. 4. Sometime it happened so that the bullet missed its mark and the tiger leapt upon the king, but the brave king fought and was the only one who won. 5. Once a high-ranking British officer visited his state, he was very fond of killing tigers. And was fond of having photograph after killing the beast. 6. But as maharaja was firm in his resolution he did not allow that British official to kill the tiger The British officer said that the maharaja could kill the tiger himself but he should be allowed to have a photograph with the dead beast. 7.Maharaja refused this proposal even saying that the other officials would also come to the state for the killing of the tigers, because of this maharaja was in danger of losing his state. 8.Hearing this maharaja ordered the English jewelers company to send some rings of

different kinds and designs, so the company sent some fifty rings to the maharaja. 9.The maharaja sent that set to the good lady of that officer, he thought that the lady would take 2 or 3 rings and would return the rest. 10. But the lady kept the 50 rings and sent a letter of thanks. 11. Soon within 2 or 3 days the maharaja received a bill of 3 lakh rupees. 12. The maharaja thanked the god that he just lost 3 lakh rupees but his kingdom was saved. PHASE 4 1.maharaja’s tiger hunt was quite successful 2.That is he was able to kill 70 tigers.(in 10 years) 3.But there was a big problem faced by the king which bought the mission to a stand still. Question} what was the problem faced by the maharaja during his mission of killing the tigers? Answer} the problem faced by the raja was that due to his explicit hunting the population of the tigers had soared down to an unbelievable level. This problem bought this

problem bought the mission of the raja to a stand still. 4.As in the book to make a little funny sense it is written that the tigers practiced birth control committed hara-kiri or they out of the state so just to be shot by the British hands. 5.The next day then tiger king sent an ordeal to the dewan that he wanted to get married. 6.The dewan said that he was not going to marry him ,but the tiger king shrugged and said that he was not to marry with him. 7.Hearing this dewan said that a tiger king is enough they did not want to have a tiger queen either. He said that there ancestors married the sword so he could marry with a gun but he could not marry to a tigress. 8.The laughed out loudly and said that I want to marry a girl of human ranks. 9.He said that he would marry a princess of that state in which the population of the tigers is the highest. 1.0.Each time he went to the state of her wife he killed 5 or 6 tigers. 11. In this way he was able to kill all the 99 tigers, the skin of these dead beasts were hung in the

Reception hall of the pratibandapuram palace. PHASE 5 1. The maharaja was extremely excited to complete his tally of the 100th tiger. 2. He had only one dream thought out the day or had been night and it was to kill the 100th tiger. 3. But because of his killings his father-inlaw’s tiger farms had run dry. 4. The sighting of the tiger was nearly impossible, but as remembered that he would have to be very careful with the 100th tiger as said by the chief astrologer. 5. The maharaja became very gloomy, but then a strange fact came to his ears. Fact – the fact which came to maharaja’s ears was that the sheep were disappearing frequently from the hill side of his own state. 6. This fact helped the village as the maharaja ordered a 3 – year redemption from all sorts of the taxes from that village. The maharaja was so determined that he was not ready to leave the forest killing that beast, due his inability of finding the tiger the maharaja’s fury crossed the limits that many officers of his own state lost there jobs. 8.The impact was so large that he ordered the dewan to double the land tax for that village.

9.Due to the dissatisfaction of the people the kingdom could go in the hands of Indian national congress which could result in the resignation of the dewan sahib. 1.0. Hearing this dewan left the tiger which he had hid in his place brought by him from the people’s park in the madras. 1.1 On the following day the same tiger wandered in the forest. 1.2 The tiger went into the feet of the king and said him in very humble tone that he would do whatever he wanted. 1.3 The king fired a shot at the tiger in a very joyful mood he said that he had killed the 100th tiger and went to his embassy in his car, he told his man to bring the dead beast to his capital in a grand procession. 1.4 After the king had gone his men went near the tiger to have close look of the dead beast, but to there amazement the tiger was not dead he rolled his eyes in baffled way. 1.5 The man came to know that the tiger was not dead and the bullet had misses its mark. 1.6 They shot the tiger again and killed the tiger this time so that the king would not know that they had killed the tiger or else they would have lost there jobs.

1.7 As the tiger king had told them the dead tiger was taken in a procession through the town and was buried and a tomb was erected over it. 1.8 A few days later, it was maharaja’s son’s birthday was celebrated. 1.9 Until then the maharaja had given up his mind over to hunting tigers. 1.10 But the king had turned his attention towards the child. 1.11 He wished to give the child a very special gift, so he went on shopping. 1.12 He searched every shop but could not find anything suitable. Finally he was able to spot a wooden tiger and thought that it was the perfect gift. 1.13 The tiger cost only two annas and a quarter, but the shopkeeper knew if quoted such a low cost he would be punished under the rules of emergency. 1.14 So praising the sculpture he said that it is a very rare piece of craftsmanship and asked for 300 rupees. 1.15 King gave the money and bought the idol at there home 1.16 The father and the son played with the idol whole day. 1.17 But the tiger was a sculpture carved by an unskilled carpenter so it had tiny

slivers of wood coming up like quills all over it. 1.18 One of those silvers pierced maharaja’s right hand, maharaja removed the sliver with his left hand and continued to play with it. 1.19 The next day maharaja’s hand was flared with the infection and four days later it emerged into a suppurating sore which had spread all over his arm. 1.20 Three of the most famous surgeons were brought to the service from the madras. 1.21 After holding a consultation they decided to operate. 1.22 The operation took place, the operation was successful, but the maharaja was dead. th 1.23 In this way the 100 tiger took its revenge from the king.
