He thought he, , had killed the hundredth tiger also, but somehow the bullet missed, , its mark and the hundredth tiger, , survived. Then on his son’s birthday, the king bought him a wooden tiger, which he felt was a perfect gift for, his son. A splinter in it pierced the, king's hand and the infection spread, all over his arm causing his death., It was indeed ironical that despite, killing all the tigers in his kingdom, the king did finally become the, , victim of the hundredth tiger and, the astrologer’s prediction did come, true.

7)What was the prediction made, by astrologers when the king was, born?, , Answer:, , When the king was a ten day old, infant, the chief astrologer had, , predicted that a tiger would be, , responsible for the King’s death. So, the king went on a tiger-killing spree, but it was a wooden toy tiger that, caused the Tiger King’s death. So, despite getting rid of all the tigers, in and around his kingdom, it was, most ironic that the hundredth tiger,, a wooden one, took its final revenge, upon the King. A tiny sliver of wood, from the wooden tiger pierces the, King’s right hand which ultimately, leads to his death.
