Mr. Singh shook his head. "Dr. Tiger would not have sent someone who knew so little about tigers. I'm a very busy man. I'm sorry, but you'll have to excuse yourself." "Mr. Singh," I pleaded. "Give me another chance." He sighed. "All right. Tell me--how much can a poor farmer earn by killing a tiger and selling it to a tiger merchant?" I smiled confidently. I remembered this one from the Tiger Handbook. "$22," I said. "That's more than a typical farmer makes in two months." "$56--that's almost as much as a typical farmer makes in six months." "$114--that's almost as much as a typical farmer makes in a year."
