His body guards caught a boy who had thrown the stone and brought him before the Maharaja, the boy pleaded that he was only throwing stone on a “ber” tree.” Why you were throwing stones on the ber tree”. Asked Maharaja. “It gives ber if you throw stones on it” Well! The poor tree give you fruit when you hit it stones and now you have hit a Maharaja, what should he give you. And he removed his costly necklace and gave it to the boy.
