They said their goodbyes. packed their few belongings and set off. When night fell. they stopped under a large tree. There was a stream running nearby, where. they could refresh themselves. Mihir told his sons to clear the area below the tree. He told his wife to fetch water. He instructed his daughters-in-law to make up the fire and stafted cutting wood from the tree himself. Now, in that branches of the tree sata thief. He watched as Mihir’s family worked together, He also noticed they had nothing to cook.
