Hills dark with the woods and scarred with the torrents were gathered around. 2.Govinda, the great sikh teacher,sat on the rock reading scriptures,when Raghunath,his disciple,proud of hiws wealth,came and bowed tohim and said, ?I have brought my poor present,unworthy of your acceptance.? 3.Thus saying he displayed before the teacher a pair of gold bangles wrought with costlystones. The master took up one of them,twirling it round his finger,and the diamonds darted shafts of light. 4.Suddengly it slipped form his hand and roled down the bnak inothe water. ?Alas,?screamed Raghunath,and jumped into the stream. The teacher set hs eyes upon his book, and the water held ahd hid what it stole and went it s way. 5.The daylight faded when Raghunathcame back to the teacher tired and ripping. He panted and ssaid,?I can still get it back if you shoe me where it fell.? The teacher took up the remaining bangle and throwing it int the water said,?It is there.?
