8. The Birth The prince is born. The Tiger Hunt Started hunting First complication Denying a British personality Second complication Scarcity of tigers. The Final Hunt The last tiger

9. The birth of the Tiger King is shrouded in mystery and legend. According to the story, the newborn prince spoke his first words at just 10 days old. During the prince's birth ceremony, the chief astrologer predicted that the king would die from a tiger, as he was born during the year of the Bull, which is an enemy of the tiger. This news quickly spread throughout the kingdom, causing widespread fear and apprehension. As the Tiger King grew up, he was closely watched by his subjects who anxiously awaited the fulfillment of the astrologer's prediction. Despite the pervasive sense of foreboding, the Tiger King went on to become one of the most celebrated rulers in the kingdom's history, leaving a lasting legacy as a symbol of destiny and the human spirit.

10. During his teenage years, the prodigal prince's life was uneventful, but the kingdom remained uneasy about the prophecy made by the chief astrologer. The prince, determined to lift the curse upon him, vowed to slay 100 tigers, but the astrologer warned him to be cautious of the hundredth tiger. After becoming king, he banned tiger hunting for everyone except himself, recognizing the importance of preserving the limited tiger population. This decision showcased the king's wisdom, compassion, and dedication for his goal, ensuring the survival of the majestic creatures for himself to slay and no one other than him.

11. The King's quest to hunt tigers tested his physical and mental limits. Despite occasional missed shots, he remained driven by unwavering determination. The Maharaja's fearsomeness was on full display as he engaged tigers in hand- to-hand combat, emerging victorious. With every triumph, his confidence grew, bringing him closer to his ultimate goal. His persistence and unwavering commitment inspired awe and admiration, and after many battles, he achieved his goal, becoming a legendary symbol of strength and courage for generations to come.

12. As the King continued to hunt tigers, his skills improved, and he learned to anticipate their movements by understanding their habits and behaviors. Despite facing tough challenges, the King's unwavering determination never faltered, inspiring awe and admiration among his subjects. His relentless pursuit of his goal elevated him to legend status, with his name becoming synonymous with bravery and determination. After many long and arduous weeks, the King achieved his ultimate triumph, conquering the last of the tigers and proving to himself and others the power of determination and perseverance.

13. The King's pursuit of his dream to hunt a hundred tigers was not without its challenges. When a British officer arrived in his state and requested permission to hunt the tigers, the King knew that he could not allow anyone else to diminish his chances of fulfilling his dream. He politely refused the request, knowing that the tigers were a limited resource and that allowing outsiders to hunt them would jeopardize his own quest. The British officer persisted, asking only for a picture with a dead tiger and hunting gear. The King, however, saw through the request and knew that the officer was only seeking publicity. He feared that granting this request would attract more British hunters to his state and put his own kingdom at risk.

14. The King's wisdom and foresight saved his kingdom from potential disaster. He denied the request, knowing that it was not worth the risk. Instead, he sent jewelry worth 3 lakhs at that time to the British officer's wife, resolving the matter amicably. The King's actions not only demonstrated his shrewdness and resourcefulness but also his commitment to protecting his people and his kingdom. The incident became a testament to the King's leadership and strategic thinking. He had not only pursued his own dream but also protected his kingdom from unwanted attention and interference. The King's legacy would endure, not only for his remarkable hunting skills but also for his ability to navigate complex political situations and protect his people.

15. The King's dream to hunt a hundred tigers was not just a personal ambition but also a matter of pride for his kingdom. However, the limited number of tigers in his own kingdom posed a significant challenge. After the unjust hunting of 70 tigers, the tiger population in Pratibandapuram had significantly decreased, making it almost impossible for the King to fulfill his dream. The King realized that he needed to think outside the box to achieve his goal. He called upon his trusted minister, the Dewan, to help him find a solution. The King's ingenious plan was to seek a bride from a kingdom with the highest number of tigers statistically. The Dewan searched far and wide until he found the perfect match for the King, a lady from a kingdom with a bountiful tiger population.

16. With his new wife's kingdom now his own, the King had access to an abundance of tigers, and he could continue his quest to hunt them down. Whenever he visited his father- in- law, he would seize the opportunity to hunt tigers, bringing him closer to achieving his lifelong dream. The King's ability to solve problems through his ingenuity and resourcefulness was a testament to his leadership skills. He had not only fulfilled his personal ambition but also preserved his kingdom's honor and pride. His legacy would endure, not only for his remarkable hunting skills but also for his ability to think strategically and solve complex problems.

17. The King's obsession with hunting one hundred tigers had led him down a path of selfishness and disregard for the lives of the animals he sought to kill. Despite the limited population of tigers in his own kingdom and the harm caused to their population by his hunts, the King remained focused on his personal ambition. When the final tiger proved elusive, the King became desperate and offered the village redemption from taxes in exchange for information on the tiger's whereabouts. When the tiger was not found, the King's fury led him to punish the entire village, regardless of their innocence.

18. In a stroke of deceit, the Dewan procured an old tiger from a zoo and released it in the field for the King to hunt. The King's achievement was marred by the fact that the tiger he shot was still alive when brought to him for a ceremony and feast. Two men killed the tiger out of fear of the King's wrath, and the King was content with his achievement, showing little regard for the life he had taken. The King's downfall came in the form of a wooden tiger gift for his son's birthday, which caused a fatal infection that ultimately led to his demise.

19. His selfish pursuit of personal ambition had blinded him to the consequences of his actions and left a legacy of disregard for the lives of animals and the well- being of his subjects. While the King's determination and resourcefulness were admirable, his disregard for the consequences of his actions and lack of empathy for others serve as a cautionary tale. The King's legacy is one of personal ambition at the expense of others, rather than of true leadership and compassion.
