Answers
Jealousy is one of the most dangerous vices. I fell prey to it years ago. I had to really feel embarrassed for my foolishness! I still feel the regret for that folly. In order to outshine my arch-rival, I decided to hunt a tiger by hook or crook. My tiger hunting expedition ended up in a big nuisance for me!
I had not imagined my tiger hunt adventure would become such an albatross around my neck! How mean Miss Mebbin was! She was a very selfish, mean, and unethical lady. She was a real Mammon worshiper. It appeared as if money was the sole purpose of her existence. She had mean professional ethics. She blackmailed me. She threatened me if I didn’t pay her 680 pounds she would reveal the truth about the tiger to Loona Bimberton. This could have spoilt my life! I would be the laughing stock of the entire city.
I had to incur such a financial loss to save my reputation and respect. I was also responsible for this situation. If I had not been so jealous of Mrs. Loona Bimberton, I would surely have been more peaceful! I learnt a lesson of my life. I never indulged myself in any actions triggered by jealousy.
