Ans. The Wise Judge
Once a young man set out on a journey. Before leaving, he gave a hundred gold coins to his neighbour to keep till his return. Their transaction took place under a peep& tree. The neighbour, a Brahmin, readily agreed to do so. The young man returned home after many many years. He went to the Brahman and asked for his gold coins. The Brahmin flatly refused. He told the young man he had never given him any gold coins. At last the young man approached the judge. The judge heard the whole case and told the young man to call that peepal tree under which this transaction had taken place. The young man left at once. A long time passed but the young man did not return. The judge showed impatience and wondered why the young man had ‘ taken so long to return. At this, the Brahmin replied that it was because the peepal tree was far away from here. The judge understood at once that the young man’s complaint was absolutely genuine. He gave the verdict in the young man’s favour.
