The Maharaja doubled the land tax in exasperation and rage after he failed to hunt the hundredth tiger near the village he had put up his tent. The Maharaja was exceedingly worried to complete his tally of killing hundred tigers. He had already killed ninety-nine tigers. Just one tiger remained; however, this one tiger he was unable to get. Then, the news had reached him that sheep and goats were disappearing near a village. After ascertaining that a tiger was behind these disappearances, he had come to this village to hunt the last tiger. In excitement, he had announced exemption of land tax for the village people. However, when he did could not kill the tiger for many days, his anxiety reached feverish pitch, and he doubled the land tax.
