Who is the Tiger King? Why does he get that name?

Solution

The Maharaja of Pratibandapuram is known as the Tiger King.

But this name is often shortened to the Tiger King. He had killed about hundred tigers. When he was born, the astrologers predicted that he would be killed by a tiger. The ten day baby prince spoke terrifying words. “Let tigers beware!” When he grew up he took up a vow to kill one hundred tigers and he started killing them. Thus he came to be known as the Tiger King.

How will the Maharaja prepare himself for the hundredth tiger which was supposed to be his fate?

Solution

The Maharaja had killed ninety-nine tigers from his state as well as his father-in-law's state. Now there was no tiger left. Yet he had to kill one tiger more. The Maharaja ordered to face harsh consequences if the tiger was not found. The dewan and his wife dragged a tiger from the People's Park in Madras. It was left where the Maharaja was hunting.
