Draw
a character sketch
of the Tiger King
in your own
words . [ HS
2014 ]
Ans : The
Tiger King was
the Maharaja of
Pratibandapuram . On
his birth the
astrologers predicted that
the King’s death
would come from
a tiger . So he started to
kill tigers at
the age of
twenty for self
defence . After killing the first
tiger he informed
about it to
the astrologer . But
the astrologer told
him that he
might even kill ninety – nine tigers
and cautioned him to
be careful with the hundredth tiger . From that
day onwards killing tiger
became the only mission
of life and
vowed he would not
attend any other
matter till he killed
the hundredth tiger .
In ten years
he killed seventy
tigers and the
population of tigers
are almost finished
in his kingdom . To
fulfill his vow he
married a girl of
royal family from a state
that had a large
tiger population and he killed
ninety-nine tigers .
Now the
King became impatient
to kill the hundredth tiger . But it was
difficult for him to locate
tigers anywhere easily . One day when his
rage was at
height , he ordered
the dewan to double the
land tax . On that time
many officers lost their jobs . As
a solution the
dewan and his wife brought
a tiger from the
People’s Park in Madras and at midnight
they left the
tiger in the forest
. On the following
day the Tiger
King shot the
tiger and ordered them to bring
the body to the capital , but the
Tiger King did not
know that he missed his target . Keeping it secret
one of the
hunters killed the
tiger . On his son’s
birthday the King
brought a wooden tiger
toy as a gift for
his son . A silver
of the toy
pierced the Kings hand
while he was playing
with it . It became
the cause of his
death a few days
later . Thus the hundredth tiger took its
final revenge upon
the Tiger King .
