All thought that the behavior of the King was strange. Many thought that he had been drinking through the night. Jordon wanted to make a suggestion, but he was afraid that the King may become angry. Thus he spoke very humbly, "Dear Majesty, we might wait awhile if you are not feeling well."
"Oh Jordon! I'm feeling fine! Let's go!" replied the King. That was very strange. It was the first time that the King had called his servant by name.
They marched forward for awhile, and lo and behold! At a distance, they saw another tiger. Jordon had spotted him through his binoculars. "There's our chance to go home with something to show," said Jordon. All were awaiting orders from the King, but the King did not respond. "Dear King, shall we shoot this one?" asked Jordon.
The King remembered the pain he had felt in his dream, because the dream he had was not like most others; never had he ever dreamt a dream that felt truly real.
The King remembered the burning fever, the throbbing pain, the feeling of almost fainting, and the great fear he felt as he saw his blood covered leg.
As he remembered the unbearable pain which he himself had gone through, his conscience told him that he did not want to inflict this pain on any other—not even a tiger. “Yes,” he thought, “the tiger’s own ways are cruel indeed.”
“Nevertheless, this was the way of nature,” he reasoned. The tiger was not of any threat to them, and his conscience now told him not to impart the pain he had felt onto any other living thing. So how would he respond to Jordon’s question?
With a warm, emotional feeling, the King responded, "No. No."
"No, it hurts," continued the King, "it hurts." The King was almost in tears, but quickly regained his composure. With mightiness and self confidence, he spoke, "No! We will not shoot this one! It looks to be an infant tiger! His head is too small to place above my throne!"
