Answer 2

Packletide was a vain , shrewd and miserly lady. She wanted to outshine her arch rival Loona by killing a tiger and she wanted her to feel jealous.
But she was not aware about the fact that this would later become a mockery and at last she suffered from a great loss of money as she paid 1000 to villagers nd 680 pounds to Mebbin.
