1. The stories of Bharat and the Rock are same as before.
2. The Condition-Once an innocent and simple farmer from a Si village went to a city to sell cucumbers. As he reached the city gate
he met a rogue who at once measured him to be a simpleton and a prey. The rogue approached the farmer and said-—"Brother, if I eat all
your cucumbers what would you offer me as a prize ?” The farmer 4 F looked at him with surprise. To him the statement about eating the Si large heap of cucumbers appeared to be a joke He also replied in the
same spirit--"If you eat all these cucumbers I will give a laddu (ball shaped sweet) that does not come through this gate.” They had this
wager and some of the onlookers became witnesses. 44. The rogue now picked up one cucumber, bit and ate a small piece
from it and put the cucumber back. After that he lifted another
cucumber and repeated the process. This way he ate a small piece F from each cucumber and said to the farmer--“Here brother, I have eaten all your cucumbers."
Taken unawares the farmer said with anger--"Where have you eaten all the cucumbers ? They are all lying here."
The rogue said—“I will prove in no time that I have eaten all the 1 cucumbers." He went and stood near the heap of cucumbers and 4 started trying to sell them. He shouted and called many people and 15 asked them to buy the cucumbers. Everyone who came and looked at 9f the cucumbers refused to buy them saying—“All these cucumbers are 4 eaten." 4. The rogue said to the farmer—"See, everyone says these $6 cucumbers are eaten. You have lost the wager. Now give me the & laddu.” The witnesses also failed to counter this argument.
The farmer was disturbed. He could not think what to do. He tried to pay some money and get rid of the rogue but it was not so easy to 15 convince him. At last the farmer sought some time on the pretexts
that he will have to search and bring the laddu.
