Note 3 — Kurulu-gama Appu, the Sooth-sayer
H. (Henry) Parker translation
The Vedarāla having said, “It is good,” and told him to get and bring a torch, cunningly having gone near the yoke of cattle that remained entangled in the bush at that place where he went on coming, asked if these were his oxen. Then the man said, “These are indeed my cattle,” and having unfastened them and come back, in the morning gave him a half share3 of the value of the cattle. Taking it, and throwing away the chaff and coconut husks, he went away.
