The poor man from PIPIGANJ



There is a lot because of his poverty. In reality he was the son of a famous and rich father. Unfortunately, since the father had died in a distant place, he did not know that. Consequently he was spending his life in abject poverty and misery.
One day astrologer visited him. 'Why are you unhappy? Your father was very wealthy, but he did not disclose his wealth to you because he died elsewhere. 'The astrologer then informed him of the means to acquire the wealth. He said, 'the treasure is in this place, but you have to take it very carefully. If you dig from the southern side the wasps and drones will rise and sting you. On the western there is a ghost that wants to create much disturbance for you. On the northern side there is big black snake that wants to devour you. However if you approach from the eastern side, then by removing only a little amount of dirt, the treasure will be revealed to you.
