Answer:
Although
the tiger hunt organised by the villagers has been presented in a humorous
manner, tiger hunting is quite a serious affair.
Mrs Packletide would procure a tiger-skin of her own shoot and would
throw a luncheon party ostensibly in Loona's honour. She wanted to avoid every
risk, so she offered a thousand rupees to the villagers for ensuring that the
tiger was available.
The villagers took their job seriously and provided Mrs
Packletide the opportunity of fulfilling her desire.
Mrs Packletide fired a shot which hit the goat instead of the tiger. But
the tiger died as a result of heart failure caused by the sudden report of the
rifle. Because the shot was not accurate, what should have been serious turned
out to be ridiculous.
