DADDY SAW A TIGER FOR THE FIRST TIME

"DC SAHEB HAS KILLED A TIGER". THE NEWS SPREAD LIKE A JUNGLE FIRE. DC (DEPUTY COMMISSIONER) USED TO LIVE JUST IN FRONT OF DADDY'S HOUSE IN SAGAR CITY. THERE WAS DENSE FOREST LIKE GROWTH ALL AROUND. DC 'S HOUSE, WHICH WAS JUST NEARBY WAS STILL HALF A KILOMETER AWAY. ALL KIDS OF THE AREA WERE VERY EXCITED. DADDY WAS ALSO VERY PROUD THAT ONE OF HIS NEIGHBOUR IS SO BRAVE THAT HE KILLED A TIGER. WHEN CHHETRAPAL(SERVENT) INFORMED DADDY'S MOM THAT MANY RESIDENTS ARE GOING TO SEE THE TIGER, ALL THE KIDS JUMPED AND SCREAMED " WE WILL ALSO GO,WE WILL ALSO GO". MOM WAS LITTLE APPREHENSIVE. IT WAS GETTING DARK. MANSOON WAS IN. EVERYWERE RAINY PLANTS AND BIG GRASS WAS GROWING. NEWS OF SNAKES AND SCORPIO SIGHTING WERE COMMON. RELUCTANTLY SHE PERMITTED. ALL KIDS WERE OVER JOYED. MOM CAUTIONED " GO CAREFULLY . ALL KIDS CATCH HOLD OF OTHER'S HAND. DONT LEAVE CHHETRAPAL. BEWARE OF SNAKES AND SCORPIOS". DADDY WAS SO EXCITED WITH THE THOUGHT OF SEEING A TIGER KILLED BY DC SAHEB . HE WAS WALKING FAST AND AHEAD OF ALL . DADDY WAS FEELING PROUD THAT OTHER KIDS ARE ACCOMPANING HIS SERVENT. WHO CARED ABOUT SNAKES OR SCORPIOS ?ALL KIDS WERE TALKING CONTINOUSLY IN EXCITEMENT. AND IN A SHORTWHILE WE WERE NEAR DC'S HOUSE. IT WAS VERY DARK BY THEN. �SHHHHH ,EVERYBODY QUITE NOW. NO BODY DARED TO DISTURB DC'S PEACE. DC IS KING OF THE DISTRICT.� SAID CHHETRAPAL

STILL WE WERE FEELING THANKFUL TO DC SAHEB, THAT HE ALLOWED US TO ENTER HIS BANGLOW TO SEE THE TIGER. WE ENTERED THE LARGE SPRAWLING COMPOUND FROM A SMALL BACK GATE. IN THE DARKNESS WE FOLLOWED THE FOOT PRINTS ON NARROW PATHWAY BEHIND CHHETRAPAL ONE AFTER OTHER LIKE A TRAIN .WHOLE COMPOUND WAS FULL OF BIG TREES AND RAINY PLANTS. FAR AWAY WE COULD SEE A PETROMAX BULB LIGHTING. THERE WERE SOME PEOPLE ALSO SEEN. OUR EXCITEMENT REACHED ITS CRESENDO. WE STARTED RUNNING TOWARDS THE LIGHT. AFTER REACHING A CERTAIN DISTANCE, SUDDENLY BRAKES APPLIED AUTOMATICALLY. OUR FACES DISFIGURED." OH MY GOD, WHAT A STENCH" KIDS WERE LOOKING TO EACH OTHERS FACE. " CHHI, CHHI, WHAT A BAD SMELL".BUT DADDY COULD SEE DIM FIGURE OF TIGER LYING ".CUROSITY TO SEE A TIGER WAS SUCH THAT DADDY COVERED HIS NOSE WITH HANDKARCHIEF AND SPEEDED UP. EVERYBODY FOLLOWED. IN A JIFFY ALL WERE NEAR THE GROUP. A BIG BEAUTIFUL TIGER WAS LYING IN MIDEST OF THE CROWD.ITS BRIGHT YELLOW FOR WAS SHINING AND THERE WERE BLACK BEAUTIFUL STRIPES ON IT AS IF SOME VERY GOOD ARTIST HAD PAINTED THESE. HERE WAS THE KING OF JUNGLE LYING IN FRONT.

"DONT BE FRIGHTENED .IT IS DEAD." SAID DADDY TO HIS FRIENDS, MAKING A BRAVE FRONT. ACTUALLY DADDY WAS HIMSELF SCARED FOR A WHILE AS TIGER'S EYES WERE OPEN . IT LOOKED AS IF IT WOULD SPRING ON ITS FEET ANY MOMENT. DADDY WAS VERY AMAZED TO SEE THE SIZE OF THE TIGER. " MY GOD IT IS SO LONG." DADDY NEVER THOUGHT THAT TIGERS ARE SO BIG. ACTUALLY DADDY HAD NEVER SEEN A BIG CAT BEFORE. HE HAD SEEN ONLY PHOTOGRAPHS. NOW HE COULD REALIZE HOW BIG AND MEJESTIC , A TIGER WAS. THEY SAID IT WAS 14 FEET LONG. SOME FELLOWS HIRED BY DC SAHEB , WERE READY WITH THEIR KNIVES, TO TAKE OUT SKIN OF THE TIGER. CHHETRAPAL SAID "DC SAHEB WILL KEEP THE SKIN AS A MOMENTO". ALL KIDS KEPT SEEING THE DRAMA ,NEVER SEEN BEFORE. ALL WERE SAD TO SEE A DEAD KING OF JUNGLE. KNIVES WERE SHARPENED AND READY TO TAKE OUT SKIN OF TIGER.DADDY SAID �WE CAN NOT STAND THE SIGHT .IT IS TIME TO MOVE.�

ONE OF DC'S MAN ,WHO WAS ALSO FRIEND OF CHHETRAPAL,INFORMED THAT THE TIGER HAD BECOME A MANEATER .THE VILLAGERS ARE VERY THANKFUL THAT DC SAHEB HAS KILLED IT.

WHEN HE ALSO TOLD THAT ONE OF DC'S ALSETIAN PET HAS DELIVERED 4 PUPS AND IF DADDY WANTED HE CUOULD TAKE ONE. DADDY WAS OVERJOYED. THIS WAS A DREAM COME TRUE.DADDY JUMPED AND SAID YES I WILL TAKE ONE ALONG.BUT CHHETRAPAL REFUSED �MOM WILL FIRE ME, FIRST WE WILL TAKE HER PERMISSION.�

DADDY AGREED AND THEY RETURNED BACK WITH THEIR LIFE TIME EXPERIENCE AND DREAMS OF A PUP.

DID DADDY 'S DREAM MATERIALISED?
