There are plants that use clever ways to trap insects for their food. The pitcher plant is a common insect-eating plants in many countries. This plant has a clever trap shaped like a pitcher or jug. This pitcher is covered with a sweet sticky substance. Insects come to the pitcher to drink this honey or sweet juice.

These hairs point downwards, so the insects cannot climb out of the pitcher. They die inside it. Then the plant digests their bodies and absorbs them as food.

Many years ago a man-eating tiger brought fear to the people of a remote village in Sundarbans. The people appealed to the District Officer for help, and he requested a friend of his, who was a clever hunter of wild animals to visit the village and track down the killer.
The hunter, after some days of searching, found the tiger’s footprints on a path near a stream. He noticed a narrow valley nearby. That evening he collected fifty men and asked them to line up across the valley. At a signal from him, they were to make as much noise as possible. This would disturb the tiger and when it came out into the open the hunter would shoot it.
The plan succeeded. When the hunter waved his hat the man beat wildly on their drums. The tiger soon appeared. The hunter took aim and fired once but missed. Then two more shots rang out. The hunter had wounded the tiger but had not killed it. The tiger in rage was charging straight at him. Very calmly the hunter took careful aim and fired the last two bullets he had. The animal fell dead at the hunter’s feet.
That night the villagers arranged a big feast in honour of the brave hunter. They brought all sorts of gifts including garlands of flowers for him. The hunter felt happy that he was able to help the simple village people.
