When the other merchant saw his friend returning alone, he asked, "Where is my boy? Why have you returned alone?"
The merchant's son replied, "I feel sorry for you. When I was taking my bath, your boy was standing on the bank. Just then, a flamingo flying above swept down and carried your boy off in its claws. I could do nothing!"
On hearing this, the other merchant got angry. He said, "You are a liar! A flamingo can never carry a boy as big as him, in its claws. I shall complain about you to the village elders."
At once, the other merchant dragged the merchant's son to a nearby village elder and started complaining
The other merchant said, "He is a disgraceful man, who has kidnapped my son."
The village elder instructed, "How can you do this? Return his son to him immediately!"
But the merchant's son was unmoved. He said, "There is nothing that I can do. A flamingo swept down and carried him off in its claws from the riverbank!"
