In English
There was a very rich and famous man in a city. He fostered his son very affectionately. The son had an obsession to study abroad. All entreaties and dissuasions of his father proved futile. It is often the parents who yield to the children’s wishes. The son went and acquired all vices in a foreign country; and when he returned, he was a totally spoilt person. He started showing off as a foreign-returned brat. He was, in fact, gloating on his father’s money and fame. Soon his marriage was fixed. Just before tying the knot of the (sacred thread worn by married women) around the neck of the bride, the young man fell dead instantly. This is not a concocted story. It is a true life story. There were many distinguished dignitaries and doctors among those who attended the marriage. The doctors declared him dead.
