When did the Tiger King stand in danger of losing his kingdom? How was he able to avert the danger? |

Answer» When a high-ranking British Officer who visited Pratibandapuram expressed his desire to go on a tiger hunting mission, he was refused permission to do so by the tiger king. It was at that time that the tiger king stood in danger of losing his throne. But he was well aware of the consequences of refusal to the British Officer for tiger hunting so he and his dewan had deliberations on this issue. As a result, they decided to send samples of fifty expensive diamond rings from a Calcutta –based jeweller to the British Officer’s wife. The king and his minister expected the officer’s wife to choose one or two and send the rest back. She kept all and sent her thanks to the king. The rings cost the king three lakh rupees but he was happy that in the bargain, he was able to avert the danger and retain his kingdom. |
