Chapter No. 3

Dhanya… sets out with 64 gold coins.

As he heads towards the livestock market, auspicious omens appear! Let’s follow Dhanya… towards the livestock market. One by one, animals are being sold there. A perfectly-featured beautiful sheep catches Dhanyakumar’s eye! He buys it for five gold coins.

As he moves ahead, he encounters the prince and his friend. The prince also has a strong sheep in his hands.

“Master! This is the younger son of the wealthy Seth, Dhanya, coming with a delicate sheep. Let’s do one thing: let’s have a fight between their sheep. The one whose sheep loses will have to give 100,000 gold coins. Our sheep is sure to win, so let’s get 100,000 coins from him,” the friend whispered into the prince’s ear.

“Dhanya, let’s have a fight between our sheep. The one whose sheep loses will have to give 100,000 gold coins,” the prince challenged Dhanya!

Dhanya was ready. The battle between the two sheep began. Dhanya’s sheep emerged victorious! He received 100,000 gold coins!

The prince was astonished!

“This weak-looking sheep defeated my strong sheep, which means it must be perfect in every way. If I buy it, I could earn millions through it.”

“Merchant’s son! Fighting with sheep is something we warriors do! Why do you need it? Give me this sheep for its value, and you’ll be satisfied.”

“Kumar! I found this sheep after much searching, but since you wish to have it, I am ready to give it to you. I don’t want much; just give me 100,000 gold coins, and you can take this sheep with pleasure.”

The prince gave another 100,000 gold coins and took the sheep.

Dhanyakumar returned home with 200,000 gold coins and bowed at his father’s feet. His father and all the family members praised Dhanya highly.

But the faces of the three brothers were as dark as a black sheep!

They came to their father and said, “Father! Think calmly. Dhanya gambled and earned 200,000 gold coins by betting. If he had earned this money in business, we would still praise him. The true test is in business!”

For the third time, their father gave each of them 100 gold coins to test them. The three brothers lost their money and returned home empty-handed, while Dhanyakumar...
