The cart was made to travel in the rain, the bullocks were strong build. About a mile<br />
slong there was a small river, surrounded by forest around on all sides. Opposite half mile<br />
further there was a small village wherefrom Hanumaanji‘s mandir was very near.<br />
Observing the flooded river, the cart owner stopped and said: ―the river is overflowing‖<br />
Sheth got worried. He asked‖What shall we do?‖<br />
―Best to reside this side of the river as the rain water flood does not warrant crossing‖,<br />
replied the cart owner.<br />
―O dear! How can that be? We have hazard, we have small child and a woman to take<br />
care of, how can we stay here in falling rain?‖<br />
―Don‘t you worry‖, said the cart owner, ―on the opposite bank nearby there is a village, I<br />
will immediately call out the youth. They will lead the bullocks, so we can reach the<br />
village.‖<br />
―All right‖, said the Sheth. ―Go quickly, even if we have to pay a few Rupees… ―<br />
―No problem Sheth!‖ the cart owner said alighting from the cart. ―You sit under this tree<br />
and relax, I will come quickly.‖<br />
Entering into the hip high waters of the river, the cart owner reached the opposite bank.<br />
Sheth opened the fodd boxes, the rain had become lighter. All sat under the treeand<br />
strated to eat.<br />
It got late and the cart owner had still not returned. Sheth became very worried. What will<br />
happen now? With these thoughts in mind the Rajaaram Sheth could not finish his meal.<br />
It was getting darker.<br />
At that moment, two youths were seen coming from opposite, the cart owner was not<br />
there. Both had wooden sticks with rings on them, and as if to frighten him they<br />
said:‖Sheth, What is in these bags?‖<br />
―There is my baggage and food parcel, you must have been called by our cart owner to<br />
get us to the other side of the river.‖<br />
―Yes, we have certainly come to take you to the opposite side, give us whatever you have<br />
else you will have to get to the other side.‖<br />
Sheth stared at the two youths, the cart owner had still not returned. From their firm<br />
language, he realised their evil minds.<br />
There was no more time, to save their lives he gave away all their belongings and stepped<br />
back.<br />
