Then he asked, Tell me, are you not sad you had to leave behind so much of wealth that suddenly came your way? The man said, I didn t pick the jewelled fruits and flowers. I had picked some of the lovely, tasty fruits and had eaten my fill of them, In my sack I had kept some others for my little daughter who is at home. I had thought she would enjoy these tasty apples and mangoes. But when I saw there was no other way to go across the stream, I did not think twice about leaving my sack by the river. My little girl can get tasty fruits from some other garden too! But I am so happy the King let us all wander around his garden, looking at the trees and plants and animals. He is a great king for having created this place of beauty, and it was a pleasure walking around there. Finally a smile appeared on King Amrit s face.
