‘Mrs. Packletide’s Tiger’ is full of witty remarks and the statement that Mrs. Packletide was a good shot is one of them. She decided to kill a tiger but paid one thousand rupees to the villagers to find a tiger who was old, so that she would not have to work hard at killing it. Secondly, when she fired a shot, the bullet, instead of hitting the tiger, hit the goat. It was her good luck that both the animals died but her shot was a missed shot.
