Question

I rested for a moment at the door of Anand Bhavan. On Market Road, where coffee drinkers and tiffin

eaters at their tables sat transfixed uttering low moans on seeing me. I wanted to assure them, “Don’t

fear, I am not out to trouble you. Eat your tiffin in peace, don’t mind me … You, nearest to me, hugging

the cash Box, you are craven with fear, afraid even to breathe. Go on, count the cash, if that’s your

pleasure. I just want to watch, that’s all If my tail trails down to the street, if I am blocking your threshold

: it is because I’m told, I’ m eleven feet tip to tall. I can’t help it. I’m not out to kill I’m too full--found a

green pasture teeming with food on the way. Won’t need any for several days to come, won’t stir, not

until I feel hungry again.Tigers attack only when they feel hungry, unlike human beings who slaughter

one another without purpose or hunger.

To the great delight of children, schools were being hurriedly closed. Children of all ages and sizes were

running helter-skelter screaming joyously. ‘No school, no school. Tiger, tiger!’ They were shouting and

laughing and even enjoyed being scared. They seemed to welcome me. I felt like joining them, and

bounded away from the restaurant door and trotted along with them, at which they gleefully cried, ‘The

tiger is coming to eat us; let us get back to the school!’

I followed them through their school gate while they ran up and shut themselves in the school hall

securely. I ascended the steps of the school, saw an open door at the far end of a veranda, and walked

in. It happened to be the headmaster’s room, I believe, as I noticed a very dignified man jumping on his

table and heaving himself up into an attic. I walked in and flung myself on the cool floor, having a

partiality for cool stone floors, with my head under the large desk--which gave me the feeling of being

back in the Mempi cave.

As I drowsed, I was aware of cautious steps and hushed voices all around. I was in no mood to bother

about anything. All I wanted was a little moment of sleep; the daylight was dazzling. In half sleep I heard

the doors of the room being shut and bolted and locked. I didn’t care. I slept.

While I slept a great deal of consultation was going on. I learnt about it later through my master, who

was in the crowd – the crowd which had gathered after making sure that I had been properly locked up –

and was watching. The headmaster seems to have remarked some days later, ‘Never dreamt in my

wildest mood that I’d have to yield my place to a tiger … A Wag had retorted, ‘Might be one way of

maintaining better discipline among the boys.’

Now that this brute is safely locked up, we must decide,’ began a teacher. At this moment my master

pushed his way through the crowds and admonished ‘Never use the words “beast” or “brute.” They’re

ugly words coined by humans in their arrogance. The human beings think all other creatures are

“beasts”. Awful word!’What reassurance did the tiger give the coffee drinkers?

ii. In what ways are tigers different from human beings?

iii. Why were the children delighted?

iv. What did the headmaster say some days later?

v. Which sentences tell us that the tiger’s owner had a great respect for the tiger?​
