उत्तर
Mrs. Packletide shot at the tiger. The tawny beast sprang to one side and rolled over dead. Miss Mebbin drew attention that the goat had been killed by the bullet, while there was no trace of a bullet wound on the tiger’s body. The wrong animal had been killed and the tiger died due to heart failure caused by the sudden sound of the rifle.
