Chitru suspected that his wife was unfaithful to him, and one night he pretended to go away from home, but really he lay in wait and surprised the prince visiting his wife; then he sprang out upon him and strangled him. But when he found himself with the corpse of the prince on his hands, he began to wonder what he should do to avoid being convicted of the murder.
Soon after some one came out of the house and found the corpse; at once they were all in consternation and sent for the clever Chitru to help them out of their difficulty.
And the old Raja and his wife came and lived with Lita and his wives and the other brothers stayed on at their old home; and they all lived happily ever after. LXXXII. The Corpse of the Raja's Son. There was once a blacksmith named Chitru who had a very pretty wife; and the woman attracted the attention of the son of the Raja.
Chitru, who was the real murderer, made his wife promise to keep silence by threats and was three hundred rupees the better for the business. LXXXIII. The Sham Child. There was once a Raja who had two wives and each Rani had a maidservant who was the Raja's concubine; but none of them had any children.
Chitru refused to lift a finger unless he were paid two hundred rupees, and when he had got the money he took up the corpse and put it in a sitting position in a little patch of brinjals which a Koeri had planted by his front door. At dawn the Koeri came out and saw what he thought was a thief stealing his brinjals, and promptly threw a stone at the man.
Now Chitru had a reputation for cunning, so they decided to send for him quietly and take his advice.
