"Then take this knife and go and cut off the pandit's ear for his false accusation," said the governor.

The wicked Muslim took the knife and left with the intention of doing so.

But the governor called him back. "I see," said he. "You must pay the sum demanded by the pandit, and a fine besides. Tell me no more lies. The man who would not scruple to deprive a fellow creature of an ear for a trifle is not the man to be trusted. In this story write a book review on 8-10 sentences. ​
