6. Mrs. Packletides tiger , plot
O 1.This story tells us about a woman's pleasure and
intention to shoot a tiger. This short masterpiece is
written by a very renowned author -- Saki. The story
was written at a time when there was a very little
awareness about the need to protect the tigers. The
story deals with an important character named Mrs.
Packeltide whose motive was to kill a tiger for her
pleasure. This wasn't due to her lust to kill but it was
created due to her close friend, Mrs. Loona Bimberton.
Mrs. Loona Bimberton is another character in the story
who has recently shot a tiger and the name and fame
she has got due to it had a major impact on Mrs.
Packeltide which made her think of shooting a tiger.

7. O 2. As the circumstances seemed favorable, she
stared her journey to accomplish her motive. Mrs.
Packeltide has offered a thousand rupees for the
opportunity to shoot a tiger without any risk. The
neighbouring village gets to know about the news
and accepts the challenge as it had a large number
of tigers in it. The precious amount of a thousand
rupees had spread all over the village and the
villagers which included women and children cloud
be seen working of the challenge of grabbing this
amount. As it happens, a very elderly tiger, who is
no longer able to chase down it prey for supper, has
taken to preying on the village's domesticated
animals, and the villagers would like to get rid of him
as much as Mrs. Packletide would like to bag him.

9. O4. In a moment, all the natives could
be seen excited to see the seen as the
tiger was dead. This glad news was
carried to the whole village and the
thumping of tom-toms could be heard
to suit the scene.

10. O 5. But, the story takes a change when Miss.
Mebbin finds out that the goat was shot and had a
wound while no trace of a bullet or a wound could
be found on the tiger. It was later found out that
the wrong animal had been hit accidently. The
tiger had died due to a heart attack as it was
very old and could not bear the sudden bullet
shot out of the rifle. Mrs. Packeltide was annoyed
at this discovery but at the same time she was
convinced that she had shot a tiger and
accomplished her motive. The villagers will not
give away Mrs. Packletide's secret for the
thousand rupees. Mrs. Packletide assumes she
can trust Louisa for the same reason.

11. O 6. The news then spreads as Mrs. Packeltide's as
her picture frame reaches from the Texas Weekly
Snapshot to the Novoe Vermaya. But Louisa, who
seems to felt herself underpaid and
underappreciated for some time, informs Mrs.
Packletide that she'll require a little extra funding to
insure that the story doesn't happen to leak out.
Specifically, what Louisa needs is the money to buy
a small cottage near Darking. People are very
surprised when Louisa, a paid companion, suddenly
becomes a homeowner; but they are even more
surprised when Mrs. Packletide gives up her
newfound hobby, big-game hunting. "The initial
expenses are so heavy," she tells those who ask the
reason for why she gave up big-game shooting. This
is how the story ends."
