The King asked, How can we bringback my Elephants friend and make him happy again ? The Minister suggested,Your Majesty, make a declaration that whoever has the dog that used to live atthe royal Elephants shed will be penalized. The King did the same and the manwho had taken the dog, instantly turned him loose when he heard theproclamation. As soon as he was freed, the Dog ran back as fast as he could tothe Elephants shed. The Elephant was so delighted to see the Dog that he pickedhis friend up with his trunk and swung him back and forth. The Dog wagged histail, while the Elephants eyes sparkled with happiness.

A cobra bit her and she fell to the ground,as blue as the spring sky. Rajendra was stunned. What ! His beloved Manda, hispartner in all his schemes, was dead ! He hurried home shouting her name.

Manda too was weeping loudly, sitting in the courtyard. When she saw her husbandrun in, she stopped mid-wail, and Rajendra too stoodopen mouthed. Then they fellinto each others arms, unable to believe their eyes.

As one, they turned to Mani. What is the meaning of this, Mani ? His masterangrily demanded. Mani smiled. Remember my condition, that I would lie once in

the year ? Well, I chose today. You see what lies can do ? Now think whathappens to the people whom you lie to everyday of the year ! Saying this, hewalked out, leaving behind a stunned and ashamed landlord.
