Veera and Suku turned to look at Kasi, who was still crying.

“When Kasi came back yesterday, I returned his jar of pickles,” Pawan continued. “You can ask him what was in the jar.”

“The jar was filled with tender mango pickles, Your Majesty,” said Kasi.

“He gave me pickles and he got back pickles,” said Pawan. “I never stole any gold or silver or rubies.”

Prince Veera was confused. Yet another case that looked straightforward but wasn’t. Was Kasi lying about the precious stones and silver and gold inside the jar, or had Pawan stolen everything and filled the jar with pickles?

It was almost lunchtime and Veera was hungry. All this talk of pickles was making him even hungrier.

“Let’s finish this later,” said Veera. “I need to think about it a little longer.”

While the prince and his friend went to the royal dining hall, all the people waiting to see Veera were served lunch in the courtyard.

As they walked Veera said, “I don’t know who is lying.”

“Maybe instead of eating here we should go to my house for lunch,” Suku suggested. “My mother knows everything about pickles.”
