Passage 18

In English

As directed, the bangle seller reached the house and told the owner that he had come to collect the money due to him from the owner’s daughter to whom he had sold some bangles. The astonished house owner replied, “I am not even married. How can I then have a daughter and how would she buy bangles?” The bangle seller replied, “ The lady was certainly telling the truth. How else could I have discovered and found my way to your house? She even identified your name for me. Is this your name or not?” The person agreed that it was so. The bangle seller argued, “ If all this is true, the lady certainly was not lying.” The house owner did not even know that he had the amount with him. He searched in his locker and was astounded to find the amount there exactly as predicted.
