29 My poor child, whatever has happened to you?

I can't tell. You see I am not learned, so I don't know what's the matter with me. Say, Dairyman, where do you come from?

From our village.

Your village? Is it very far?

Our village lies on the river Shamli at the foot of the Panch-mura hills.

Panch-mura hills! Shamli river! I wonder. I may have seen your village. I can't think when though!
