THE HALF LIE

Once upon a time their was a merchant who has gone to market and saw a person having a slave for sale. The merchant went towards him and ask if He can buy. Merchant asked the person what's its price? Dealer said only 200 silver coins.

Merchant thought, it would be easier for me to pay this amount and got this slave which is so obedient and will do all my work outside and as well as at Home. He buys that slave for 200 silver pieces. The dealer said now i have to tell you one thing important that this slave tells once a lie in year.

Merchant said so what all servants mostly tells many more. He took him to his house, and everything went good . He was doing all His works and was very obedient. After some time when it was new years evening, the Merchant went for picnic with his friends.

He took cakes nuts snacks cold drinks to eat. Kafur was also with them. Master said to Kafur, go to home and ask my wife for more nuts. He went on his mule. When He reached home he started to weeping and saying oh my Master oh my Master! While listening this, Merchant's wife came out and asked Kafur, what happened why are you crying. He said that master and his friends were sitting under the big tree that fell on them and all are dead. Merchant's wife started to cry loudly and his children listened too and started crying. Merchant's wife break all her crockery clay pots and glasses . Kafur helped her too doing this.

When whole house was ruined.

Kafur went back and told his master that oh Mistress oh Mistress who will care for me now. Merchant asked what happened. He told your wife and children are dead. Merchant start weeping and his friends helped too. After sometime they come to home to see them. Both the wife and husband merchant find them self to be fit and fine.

Then Merchant remembered that person who told him about Kafur once lie in a year. He was very angry and was about to punish him but all his friends said him you were aware about that now if you'll punish him it would be cruel. He let him, and said that your half lie can ruin families even cities. I can't let it be again. So i am making you free to go anywhere.
