forehead was anointed with red sandal paste. His Minister and the court jester were his only
companions. At one spot, in a mango grove by the wayside, they spied some children play.

asked, Who is winning and who is the loser ? The children puffed their chests up and said,
Karnat will win and Kanchi will lose. The Minister froze in disbelief, the King was furious

blessed our King. The jester said, Your Highness, please grant me leave to go now. The
King asked, But why ? The jester said, I cannot kill, I cannot maim, I can only laugh at
