Accordingly,
Buru did what he agreed to do. But Tani hide his family members
and told Buru that he has killed his family members and as a proof
showed the blood of a dog that he had killed. Buru believed the
words of Tani. Days passed. One day they decided to compete in hulling
the paddy. They went back to their houses. Buru called his family
members and finished hulling.
Buru
was doing it alone and so he was defeated. He enquired about the
sound of collision of the pestles that he heard. Tani said that
he kept the pestles in between the fingers and hulled. Hence, the
pestles collided and the sound was produced. Buru also tried to
do hulling in the way Tani told. But while hulling in the way Tani
told, his fingers got broken. Buru realised that Tani is cheating
him and decided to take revenge on him.
He
made a wooden box and managed to put Tani inside it. He rolled it
down the hill. Tani escaped from the box. But he was unable to climb
the hill. Fortunately, the Sun came to the rescue of Tani and took
him to the Sun’s place. Tani expressed his desire to go back to
his home. The Sun made a ropeway from Sun’s place to Tani’s house.
Through the ropeway Tani reached home and lived happily with his
family.
