Question

I rested for a moment at the door of Anand Bhawan, on Market Road, where coffee- drinkers and tiffin-eaters sat still at their tables, uttering low moans on seeing me. I

wanted to assure them, “Don’t mind me, you hugging the cash box — you are a coward,

afraid even to breathe. Go on, count the cash, if that is your pleasure. I just want to watch

it, 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 tail. I can’t help it. I’m not out to kill — I’m too full. I

found a green pasture full of food on my way. I won’t attack 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 enjoying being scared. They seemed to

welcome me. I felt like joining them. So I bounded away from the restaurant door. I

walked along with them, at which they cried, “The tiger is coming to eat us; let us get back

to school!”

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

the school hall securely. I climbed up 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 noticed a very

dignified man jumping on the table and heaving himself up into an attic. I walked in and

flung myself on the cool floor, having a special liking for cool stone floors.

As I browsed, 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

very bright
