Title A story of a foturne teller
Description There was an old couple. They didn't have a child. They used to live on fortune-telling and stored whatever coins they earned in a pot. Once some thieves came to know about this and they planned to steal the coins. The old couple knew that in advance. But the wife was scared. Then the husabnd advised her to collect all the shit from the village and put it by the side of a tree. The thieves really came at night and listened to what the old couple was talking. They misunderstood the old couple and took the shit to be the coins hidden by the tree. They incidentally ate the shit one by one in the search of coins and had to move out from that place. They got angry and came back to storm the old couple another night. But they failed in this attempt too. They made another attempt to loot the old couple, but failed again. This time they not only faced humiliation but lost the tips of their noses. The old man knew it in advance that they would come to the market in search of medicines. So in disguise of a physician he set up a stall where he sold some artificial noses having poison. The thieves one by one bought those noses from him. When they tried to fix the noses the poison killed them all. Duration 00.19.00. Speaker name Rupendra Lahari. Location Bishmuri, Kokrajhar.
