At this point, the wife of the elder son came and she said something to her husband's ear. The elder son gestured towards his younger brother to come in, looking at him with meaningful eyes and stood and folded his hands to the people sitting there and said, "Come in five minutes now".

Then both brothers went inside. As soon as he went inside, the elder brother whispered and said to the younger, "Look in the box, otherwise someone will come to assert it." The younger also nodded in agreement.

Going to the father's room, the elder brother's wife said to her husband, "Take out the box, I close the door." And she moved towards the door.

Both brothers bent under the bed and pulled out the box kept there. The elder brother's wife took out a key from her pocket and gave it to her husband.

As soon as the box opened, the three peeped into the box with great curiosity. There were forty-fifty books kept inside. All three suddenly did not believe.

Curiosity struck the faces of all three as soon as they saw the money. The younger brother counted the money and then read the paper, it was written in that,
