On reaching back home, the younger brother could not remain without informing the incident to their parents. So he narrated everything to their parents. But the elder brother heard each and every thing of this conversation by hiding in a nearby place. In the next morning, the elder brother wanted to take the younger to forest and planned to kill him. But the younger one realized the motive of the elder and hence refused to go with him to the forest. Finally, both of them went to forest. The elder one told the younger of his intention to kill him for informing the parents what he has done in the forest in the previous day. Then the younger brother tried to run away. In the mean time the elder brother turned into a tiger and began to fight each other. In the fight, the younger brother cut both the hands of the tiger and it died. The younger brother returned home and narrated the whole incident to the parents. They were happy to learn about it.
