to make up the fire and stafted cutting wood from the tree himself. Now, in that

branches of the tree sat a thief. He watched as Mihir’s family worked together, He also

noticed they had nothing to cook. Mihir’s wife too thought the same, for she said to her

husband, “Everything is ready. But what shall we eat ?” Mihir raised his hands to

heaven and said, “Don’t worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us.”

The thief was worried. He had seen that the family was large and worked well

together. Surely they did not know he was hiding in the branches ? He decided to

make a quick getaway. He climbed down swiftly when they were not looking and ran

for his life. But, he left behind his bundle of stolen jewels and money, which dropped

down into Mihir’s lap. He opened it and jumped with joy when he saw the contents.

The family promptly gathered its belongings and returned to the village. There was

great excitement when they told everyone how they got rich.

Mahadev thought this was a nice quick way to earn some money ! He commanded his

family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a journey. They stopped under the

same tree and Mahadev started commanding everyone as Mihir had done. But no one in

his family was willing to obey orders. They were used to having servants wait on them –

so the one who went to the river to fetch water had a nice bath. The one who went to

gather wood for the fire went off to sleep beneath the tree. And Mahadev only ordered

everyone about, not conversation that they had rehearsed carefully. Mahadev’s wife

said, “Everything is ready. But what shall we eat ?” yahadev raised his hands upwards and

said, “Don’t worry, lie is watching all this from above. He will help us”.

At this, the thief jumped down from the tree, knife in hand. Seeing him, everyone

started running helter skelter to save themselves. The thief stole everything.

Mahadev and his family had to return to the village empty-handed, having lost all

the jewellery and gold they had taken with them.
