India is th e home of tigers. Every year many people are killed by tigers. The tiger, however, doesn't
always eat men. It likes wild animals better. It is only when the tiger is old enough or wounded (受伤的)
that it eats men.  But when it tastes the meat of men, it will go on killing men for food. When a man-eater
like this is discovered (发现) people are very afraid. They have to stop working in the fields.
There are many ways to put an end to such dangerous an imals. One way is that some men with long
guns (枪) ride on elephants while other men drive the tiger towards them.
For a hunter another way is to sit in a tree near the place where a tiger has eaten somebody. If the
tiger returns for another meal, the hunter will kill it in the hiding place. A goat may be tied to the tree for
the tiger to kill.
The most dangerous way is to hunt a tiger on foot. But the man must be brave and can shoot well or
he would be killed by the tiger.
