VALMIKI

A long time ago a dacoit used to stop travellers in a forest. He killed them if they did not stop. One day a rishi passed through the forest. The dacoit stopped him, and said, "Give me everything you have-even your clothes." The rishi said, "I shall give them to you. But what will you do with them?"

The dacoit said, "I shall sell them. With that money I shall feed my family." The rishi asked, "Will your family share the punishment from God for your wicked deeds? Go and ask them."
