He is horrified when his brother demands the kingdom from him. When Dravyashah refuses to give up his kingdom, it looks like war will break out between the two brothers and their kingdoms. The stories in this collection come from the mountain country of Nepal. Though Nepal is very close to India and shares so much of its culture, these stories have a flavor all their own.
