Loona Bimberton had travelled to the jungles in Africa in an aero plane in order to hunt a tiger. Her achievement was the talk of the town and so Mrs. Packletide herself wanted to get a tiger skin and a lot of photographs with the hunt. She felt that by getting the photographs published in the newspapers, she could attract all the attention and show Loona down.     She planned to organize a lunch party in honour of Loona but her actual motive was to display the tiger skin that she procured and show Loona down.     Mrs. Packletide announced a reward of a thousand rupees to anyone who arranged a suitable tiger – one which was easier to shoot for her. The villagers were eager to earn the reward money and so they made suitable arrangements for her to shoot with ease. They arranged an old, ill tiger and restricted it to the jungle so that it did not run away.  Ebook Img
