How does the Tiger King die at last? What is ironic about his death and the astrologer’s prediction?
Answer as written by the student:
The Tiger King dies at last due to an infection caused by a wooden splinter that pricks his hand while he is playing with a wooden tiger toy that he has bought for his son’s birthday.
This is ironic because he has spent his whole life trying to defy the astrologer’s prediction that he would be killed by a tiger. He has killed ninety-nine tigers in his quest to prove the astrologer wrong, but he fails to kill the hundredth one, which turns out to be a harmless toy.
