In olden days, one had to walk through the jungle to get to another city. Once Tenali Raman was on such a journey to another city. On the way, another traveller joined Raman. “This place is infested with thieves. I am afraid they will rob me. Can I travel with you?” the man asked Raman and he readily agreed. That night, the two of them stopped at some place to rest.

Raman was tired and fell asleep soon. His companion was waiting for this moment. In fact, he was a thief who used to rob travellers. He got up and looked under Raman’s pillow without disturbing him. He found nothing. He carefully searched Raman’s pockets looking for money. To his disappointment, he did not find even a paisa! Then he opened the bundle Raman was carrying. Again, he found nothing.
