How did Tiger King succeed in killing ‘hundred’ tigers?

The Tiger King had resolved to kill one hundred tigers. During ten years, he killed seventy tigers in his kingdom. Then the tigers became extinct in the forests of Pratibandapuram. Then the Maharaja married a girl from a state which possessed a large tiger population. Each time he visited his father–in–law, he killed five or six tigers. In this way, he was successful in killing ninety–nine tigers. However, the last tiger caused the greatest problem. There was news of a tiger being in a village, but the tiger did not appear. Finally, the clever dewan brought one from People’s Park in Madras. The king was informed and he went for the kill. He aimed at the tiger, but the tiger fell down unconscious after being hit. The tiger was finally killed by the village hunters and in this way, the hundredth tiger was actually not killed by the King.
