the city were quite unknown of the impending danger. They were attacked by the other two and were killed.
Now these two who attacked the other two and killed them, were very glad in the hope of getting more wealth. The took their meals (poisonous) to their fullest satifaction. After some time the poison. had the effect and both those persons breathed their last.
I quite saw with my own eyes that wealth is the root of all evils. Yet I took that puppet my poverty was removed. Out of love for my brother, I told him about the idol. I advised him not to do hard labour now. We were returning home with the golden puppet. I began to repent of my foolish idea of sharing the wealth with my brother unnece ssarily because it was I who had brought the golden statue. So I thought out ways to kill him.
