from the branches, I threw a stone at them. I hoped to get
an apple or two to satisfy my children's hunger, but the
stone missed its aim and fell on Your Highness. Would
you kindly forgive me?"
The Lion of Punjab ordered his Prime Minister to give the woman two bags of wheat
and one thousand rupees. The Prime Minister stared at the King, "If the tree gave
