Why did the Tiger King wish to kill hundred tigers? How far was he able to fulfill his wish?
The Tiger King wished to kill hundred tigers in order to falsify the astrologer's prediction that he would be able to kill ninety-nine tigers in exactly the same manner, but he should be careful with the hundredth tiger. The Tiger King was successful in killing ninety-nine real tigers in the same manner. Thereafter, the hundredth tiger was brought to him. Even though he missed the mark in killing the tiger, the hunters killed it secretly to satisfy him. However, on his son's third birthday, he and the prince were playing with the wooden tiger, the rough surface of which pierced the King's right hand. Due to infection and surgery, the King died and failed to fulfill his wish.
