”Appearances can be deceptive.”
Vijay Singh picked a piece of
rock from the sand. He asked the
ghost to squeeze and bring out
the fluid from it. Meantime he
brought out the egg stealthily.
Then he snatched the rock from
the ghost and placed it between
his hands and squeeze it hard. At
once the yellow yolk of the egg
oozed from around his fingers.
The ghost was astonished.
Then Vijay Singh picked
another piece of rock and gave it
to the ghost. The ghost examined
it carefully. He found it a piece
of stone only. Vijay Singh asked
him to crumble it and take out
salt from it. The ghost tried hard.
At that time Vijay Singh took
out the lump of salt from his
pocket. He snatched away the
stone from the ghost and
crumbled the lump of salt.
He held out his hand and asked
the ghost to taste it. The ghost
was surprised. He thought to
trick him some other way. He
invited Vijay Singh to his house.
