by attractive greenery the king asked the minister—"Who got this beautiful pond made ?"
The minister replied—“Sire ! You only got it made."
The answer surprised the king. He asked—“Indeed, was it me who got this made ? I don't remember giving any such order."
The minister made the king recall the past incident and added—“Sire ! Seeing the urine pool not disappear for some time you thought of making a pond here. Reading your thoughts I got this pond constructed."
The king was pleased with his minister's ability of reading thoughts of other people. He praised and rewarded him. (Vritti by Maladhari Hemchandra, pp. 125-126)
