Dear friends,

How are you all? For a couple of days, I was thinking about taking leave from the diary game. So, I can share some interesting facts; I found while reading a few books.

Many friends here could remember that; I got a few books in June. I will also join the diary game whenever possible.

I am neither a professional blogger nor a professional writer. But the fact that's working with me, I am feeling vapid.

Another reason, of course, I like to be innovative and always try to render everything out of the box.

I didn't know how many of you remembered those books, but one of those books was 'Jim Corbett Omnibus.'

Before starting my writing, let me tell you I didn't have Effrontery. I can say anything about this great naturalist and hunter.

Many of you now will think that is why I have chosen the name and subject! Before giving you the answer, let me clear that whatever I am going to start writing, I get that information from the book called 'Jim Corbett Omnibus.'

_{(I get all information about jim Corbett from this book but I write the content in my own language)}

But I will share the feelings and experiences that I get from the book.

Maybe those who love to see activities of different animals can find some similar facts here. But many people are here who didn't know much about the same experience.

I am here for those unknown people. Lastly, I would like to say; I choose a better life because life can't be better without nature and animals.

The name of those books is- Man-eaters of Kumaon(1946); millions of copies sold out, and the book hit enormous notoriety. Man-eating leopard in RudraPrayag(1947), My India(1952), Jungle Lore(1953), The temple tiger, and more man-eaters of Kumaon(1954). The last book, 'Tree tops' was published after his death.

During the second world war, Corbett asks to train soldiers in the process of walking in the jungle with pin-drop silence, how they can identify jungle, etc. The training was happening in Burma's jungle. And the training center was in Central India.

At that time, Jim Corbett didn't write any books; and many people won't recognize him because he was an Anti-propaganda.

Only a few government officers and hunters knew him very well.

A prince was there in that army department, and because he belonged from a royal family;

often he called himself Royal- hunter. He always promoted his self achievements and knack.

One day an argument was going on between all soldiers about which are the most important things a person needs to become an infallible hunter.

When the argument was not getting any conclusion, one British officer came out from the tent and asked Corbett to reply!

Jim Replied in his low voice an infallible target.

Prince has disagreed with Corbett. Then Corbett came out with the price in the outside of the tent; and said can you see the bird sitting in the 'Y' shaped branch of the tree?

The prince said, Yes.

Now Corbett said you have to shoot the bird without breaking the branch.

It was dusk! So, the price replied it's not possible because the light is low, and how can I target the bird in this low light!

Corbett picks the Riffle and shoots the bird, and replies this way!

Everyone came out of the tent and was shocked to see that the branch was as it is but the bird was dead.

Then everyone identified that the old person was none other than the great Jim Corbett.

Prince apologized for his arrogance.
