Do you think the tiger shooting 

organised by the villagers a serious affair And Give reasons for your answer. 

Answer: The villagers were really serious about the prospect of earning thousand rupees because it was a big amount. They were enthusiastic about it. 

They sent children on the boundaries so that the tiger would not leave his domain. Goats were left in the forest in order to satisfy the animal. Women took care not to make noise while passing by, so that the tiger would not be disturbed.

A platform had been constructed on a comfortable and convenient place on a tree for Mrs. Packletide and her paid

companion. Last but not the least, the villagers offered support and assistance at the night of hunt.
