Hi! As an educational website host ([link removed].

Here's his note: The short story is set in, possibly, India, during the early 20th century. It is about a jungle village that is under constant threat by tigers. One man in the village owns a rifle and is, by default, the village guardian. As it so happens the village is plagued yet again by a jungle man-eater and our duteous hunter takes to the bush. He tracks the tiger, but as he is about to shoot his rifle misfires. The tiger launches itself upon him and he manages to kill the tiger with his machete. Rather than lose his power in the village, and at the expense of becoming a hero who kills tigers with machetes, he resets his rifle, and shoots into the machete wound to disguise the true method of dispatch.
