doors of the balcony closed with a bang .

these harsh words of
the Prime Minister , he

guards to arrest the
Prime Minister and
imprison him . The king
appointed a new Prime

trouble . They knew that there was no way
they could save their own lives .

sacrifice of only a complete man. So the chief
of the bandits examined the king and Prime
Minister. When the chief saw that the king
had lost a finger, he said to his men,” Let this
man go. He does not have a finger and so he
is not a complete man. Our goddess will not
accept the sacrifice of such a man.”
8. The King was set free.
After wandering in the forest for two days, the
king , at last, reached his kingdom. As soon
as he entered his palace, he ordered his
guards to release the Prime minister from the
prison. He then called him to his court with
great respect and honour.

court, the king warmly embraced him. He
then narrated the story of the bandits to
him. The king asked the Prime Minister to
for his mistake. He honoured him by ,

Whatever happens, happens for the good.”
