This is the king's palace. Nobody is allowed to enter without the king's permission." With curiosity the king carefully looked at the model made by Rohak. He was astonished at what he saw, and thought-"This little boy is highly intelligent. He has wandered around the city and made this scale model. I have 499 ministers. If I have a sharp witted prime minister as their chief my kingdom will make tremendous progress. But first I should test him." The king inquired about the boy's name and address and returned to the city. A little later Bharat came and left for his village with Rohak. The king did not forget this incident and made necessary arrangements for assessing Rohak's wisdom. 2. The Rock-First of all the king summoned the villagers from Rohak's village and asked them to make such a pavilion that suits the king's grandeur and then cover it with the giant rock lying outside the village.

The pillars should be strong enough to take the weight of the rock. Now excavate out all the sand from under the rock and fill the gaps between the pillars with beautifully designed walls. The pavilion will be ready without removing the rock from where it rests." The villagers were pleased. They constructed a beautiful pavilion following Rohak's instructions.
