I had just returned to the Anamalai Hills from Bangalore. The next morning a phone call shocked me. The voice said: a tiger is sitting close to a house and a large number of people are gathered to watch it.
我刚刚从Bangalore回到Anamalai Hills,第二天早晨我被打来的一个电话所震惊。消息说:一只老虎趴在房子的旁边,有很多人在围观
I did not believe it at first. A tiger in Valparai? Near a cardamom plantation? I have heard of rare sightings in and around Valparai but this was something I could not believe. Must be a leopard and they must be mistaken, I thought.
起初我并不太相信。老虎出现在Valparai?就在豆蔻人工林附近?之前我听到过极少的目击报告但是我从不相信,我想估计又是把豹子错当成老虎了。
