Answer 1

Answer:

4-the merchant's father was the real murderer but he was dead. On consulting this with his ministers, the king came to the conclusion that the punishment would be carried out on the merchant. He escapes the punishment because he is too thin to be properly executed on the stake5-The Guru's words of wisdom were that it was the city of fools and their unpredictable behaviour could create danger anytime. He advised the disciple to leave the city because he would not know what they would do next. The disciple remembers these words when he was going to be executed in place of the merchant.May
