Answer the following in 125-150 words:

(a)        How did the Tiger king stand in danger losing his kingdom? How was he able to avert the danger?

Answer:

            Tiger king was told by the astrologer that he would be killed by a tiger, so he started hunting and killing tigers. If anybody disobeyed him, he would be punished severely. A high ranking British official wanted to kill the tiger. Maharaja did not give him the permission and told him that he could kill any animal except tigers. The officer wished to get photograph of himself holding a gun beside tiger s body But Maharaja refused that also. As he had not allowed him to fulfil his desire, he was in a danger of losing his kingdom. He then discussed the issue with his Deewan. So, he offered a birbe of 50 diamond rings of the value of three lakhs to the wife of the British officer. She became happy and kept all of them. This way he was able to retain his kingdom.
