King : Let the court begin !

Fourth Guard Messenger : The first complainant !

Thief : (rushes forward and wails loudly) Justice ! Oh,

Most Great King ! I beg for Justice.

King : And what is your complaint ?

Thief : In this great land of Andher Nagari, my friend and I have been truly hard

working honest thieves. All these years we have been true to our profession. And

what is our reward ? Last night, with great efforts, we made a hole in the wall

of a merchant’s house, when all his family were away. My friend peered through

that hole into the house, when suddenly the wall collapsed (Wails louder).... and ....

and my friend was instantly killed. I’ve lost my only friend and partner. O King ! It’s

the merchant’s fault for living in a house with such weak walls.

King : Fetch the merchant at once. A life for life !

The merchant must be hanged !

(Third Guard leaves and returns with the merchant who bows before the king.)

Merchant : Mercy, O Noble King ! I had no intention of killing these skilled

professionals. It is not my fault that the wall of my house collapsed. My house has

been recently built. It is the fault of the bricklayer, who carelessly built such a weak

wall.

King : Bring the careless bricklayer immediately. He must hang for his fault​
