The Tiger King had already killed Ninetynine tigers and only one tiger was left and if he could kill just one more, he would have no fears 'left.' But now it became impossible to locate tigers anywhere. The king sank into gloom but soon came the happy news about a tiger seen in the nearby village in his own state. He announced a three year exemption from all the taxes to the village in his excitement. He set out for hunt and managed to kill the hundredth tiger in the village by shooting it. The tiger collapsed but did not die. The king was ignorant about this. Later, it was killed by his soldiers.
