Summary of the chapter "RAMAPURAM TIGER BY KENNETH ANDERSON
Dear student
Ramapuram tiger is the story of a ferocious tiger and the work it took in to kill him. There was a tiger living near the northern district of Coimbatore. In only 3 months he had savagely killed atleast half a district but the news of him first travelled when he killed a cattle lifter ( somene who raided cows from planters) and bunch of cattle with him. That was when a planter thought of buying a gin trap to capture that beast, he just had to wait for the right moment which came in soon. There was news that the tiger had killed a cow and hid it in the ravine. The planter saw it as an oppotunity to set up the gin trap there as to when the tiger would come to feed on its kill, it would be captured and as predicted, the tiger did get it's head caught in the gin trap but as it was a ferocious tiger, it was able to break himself loose. In the process of breaking free the tiger lost it's left ear and left eye. There was no word of it after that as everyone thought that it must have died of it's wounds but after approximately a fortnight, there were killings sighted again and rumours that how a tiger with a disfigured face was causing them. It was then, the author decided to pay a visit to the beast in person. After reaching there, he dicided to stay at Ramapuram village ensuring people that he had come there to kill the tiger. He looked for the tiger thoroughly, walked forests in his search but it was not until the night when a bull was kept as a bait that the tiger decided to show up. The tiger leaped upon the bull which collapsed in a second under the tiger's weight but the tiger actually wanted to reach out for the author on the other side. Seeing this the author shot his first bullet between the tiger's eyes, second behind it's left shoulder which killed the bull instead and when the tiger was about to pounce on him, he shot his last bullet. The last bullet was to the beast's throat which finally killed him. The villagers conveyed their thanks by providing the author with hot milk and some gifts.
Hope this help!
Regards
