vahaan jakar chor ne kaha, ″kotaval sahab, is kath ko ap istemal kaise kiya haian, meharabani karake mujhe samajha dijie.″ kotaval ne kaha, tumhara kya bharosa! maian tumhean bataooan aur tum bhag jaoan to ?″ chor bala, ″apake bina kahe maianne apane ko apake havale kar diya hai. maian bhag kyoan jaooanga?″ kotaval use yah dikhane ke lie raji ho gaya ki kath kaise dala jata hai. jyoan hi usane apane hath-pair usamean dale ki chor ne jhat chabi ghumakar kath ka tala band kar diya aur kotaval ko ram-ram karake chal diya. ja de ki rat thi. din nikalate-nikalate kotaval mare sardi ke adhamara ho gaya. savere jab sipahi bahar ane lage to unhoanne dekha ki kotaval kath mean phanse p de haian. unhoanne unako us mean se nikala aur aspatal le gaye.
