Father used to say that merchant Balbhadrawho lived in front of our house-was a truthful and religious person and a Jain shravak. Why not entrust the box to him for safe keeping.

Sethji, I want to go out on a tour around the country. I want to leave something with you for safe keeping for some days. Please do me the favour.

Sethji, did you recognize me?
Of course,
yes, Narain.
Sethji, why do you need to touch it. Just keep this box with you. I will take it, when I return.
