Princess Chandravati was very beautiful. She loved all kinds of ornaments
and always wanted to wear the most precious and lovely jewels. Once, a jeweller
came to the palace and gifted the king a wonderful diamond necklace. It glittered
with big and small diamonds. It was certainly a very expensive necklace. The
princess fell in love with it as soon as she saw it. So the king presented it to her.
From that day on, the princess always wore that necklace, wherever she
went. One day before going for a swim in the pond, she took the necklace off and
put in the hands of her oldest and the most trustworthy servant. Hold this and
be careful. This is the most precious necklace in the whole world, she said. The
servant was an old woman. She sat under a tree, holding, the ornament tightly
and waited for the princess. It was a hot afternoon and the servant was very tired
so she dozed off under the tree..Suddenly the servant felt that someone was
tugging at the necklace and She Woke up with a start. She looked around but no
one was there and the necklace was gone. Scared out of her wits, the old servant

started screaming. On hearing her scream the royal guards rushed to her. She
pointed towards the direction in which the thief may have gone and the guards
ran off that way.
There was a poor and dim-witted farmer walking on the same road. As soon
as he saw the royal guards running towards him, he thought that they wanted to
catch him and started running. But he was not a strong man and could not
outrun the hefty guards. The royal guards caught him in no time. Where is it?
they demanded, shaking him. Where is what ? the poor fanner stammered
back. The necklace you stole ! thundered one of the royal guards. The farmer
had no idea what they were talking about. He only understood that some precious
necklace was lost and he was supposed to have it. He quickly.replied, I dont
know where it is now. I gave it to my landlord. The guards ran towards the
landlords house. Give us the necklace right now ! the guards demanded of the
fat landlord. Necklace? I dont have any ! the stunned landlord replied. Then
tell us quickly who does, demanded the soldiers. In order to get the royal guards
off his back, the landlord pointed towards a priest who was walking by his house
and said, He does. The guards now caught hold of the priest who was walking
towards the temple and thinking about the lunch he had just eaten. The priest
was stunned when one of the burly guards jumped on him and asked about the
necklace. He remembered that the minister, Bhupati, was at the temple. He took
the guards to the temple and pointed towards the praying minister, I gave it to
him, he said. Bhupati too was caught and all four men were thrown in jail. The
chief minister of the kingdom knew Bhupati well and was sure that Bhupati
would never steal. He decided to find out who the culprit was. He hid near the
jail where all four men were put and heard them talking. First, Bhupati asked
the priest, Panditji, why did you say that you gave the necklace to me? I was
quietly praying at the temple and now you have-landed me in jail for no fault of
mine.
The priest looked apologetic. He pointed towards the landlord and said, I
didnt know what to say. He set the guards on me. I was simply passing by his
house and was on my way to the temple. The land lord looked at the priest
sheepishly. Then he turned towards the poor farmer and yelled, You lazy goodfor-nothing man ! Why did you say that I had the necklace? The farmer, trembling
under the angry gaze of all three men, said, I was just walking home. The guards
caught me and I did not know what to say. On hearing this conversation, the
chief minister understood that all the four men were innocent. He immediately
ordered the royal guards to search thoroughly, near the pond. The guards searched
high and low till they saw something glinting on the tree. On the tree sat a
monkey, with the princess favourite necklace around his neck. It took a lot of
coaxing and bananas before the monkey threw the necklace on the ground. The
king apologised to all the four men and gave them gold coins as compensation. He
requested his daughter to wear the necklace only indoors.

wanted to be (72) as pandit. Now, the term pandit (73) to a man of knowledge.

pandit and because of this very reason it would be improper to call him so. But
the silly brahmin had his heart (74) on this title. Birbal came up with a brilliant
