Panchatantra Tales
Once upon a time, there lived a sage in a village.
He used to get various kinds of clothes as donation from his devotees.
He made a fortune by selling those clothes over the years.
He always kept the money in a bag and carried that bag with him.
A crook was prying to somehow grab that money.
He requested the sage to accept him as a disciple.
The sage agreed to this.
The crook was always at the beck and call of the sage.
Within a few months he made a good impression on the sage.
One day, they were on their way to some village.
On the way, there came a river and sage wanted to take a bath in the river.
He asked the crook to guard the luggage.
When the sag was busy in bathing, the crook fled away with the money bag.
