Grandfather feared that Timothy might eat up the cook as he even had started attacking the pets and hens.Grandfather got him transferred to the zoo,where he was happily received. Six months later grandfather went to visit Timothy in the zoo.Grandfather put his hand in the cage which was supposed to be Timothy’s.Grandfather stroked his forhead and on growling smacked his mouth.
The tiger licked Grandfather ‘s hands and only at snarling of the leopard shrinked back. The keeper was surprised at the re-union. Grandfather went in search of superintendent of the zoo as he wished the leopard to be shifted. In the meanwhile the keeper whom grandfather could recognize informed grandfather that Timothy had actually died two months ago. Grandfather then realized what the whole situation was turning into and walked away.
