Then came the fourth detective who was keeping an eye on the activities of the fourth thief after the sentence. The detective said, Maharaj, since the day he was being driven around the city on a donkey, I have kept an eye on it.
Children were throwing soil dung on his body. While passing through his house, he saw his wife on the way. With a loud voice to the wife, said, keep water ready at home, I am now coming to take these children around the city.

The king told his courtiers that the reaction on these four accused was different because everyone tried to understand the punishment given by me in different ways.

To change the nature of a man, it is not necessary that the punishment be severe as the reaction has to be effective. I only told the first accused that if this work is not worth you, then he committed suicide, while the punishment did not affect the person who shaved the donkey, that is, did not stop stealing
, the four criminals were accused in the same crime, but the reaction on all The different happened. Hence it has been said that reaction is the test of life. Until you react to something.
