They bound his eyes again and led him back to the clearing and the pitcher. Would you have been tempted to give up the pitcher when you saw the jewels and the robes? What made Subha Datta so determined to have the pitcher? Even when they were all back again in the clearing the fairies did not quite give up hope of keeping their pitcher.
Would it be a good thing, do you think, to be able to get food without working for it or paying for it? The next few days passed away like a dream, and at first Subha Datta thought he had never been so happy in his life. The fairies often went off together leaving him alone, only coming back to the clearing when they wanted something out of the pitcher.
One by one the friends went away, leaving Subha Datta alone with his family. If you had been Subha Datta's wife, what would you have done when this misfortune came to her husband? What would you have done if you had been the woodcutter? This is the end of the story of the Magic Pitcher, but it was the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of Subha Datta and his family.
Sometimes he thought he would slip off home when the fairies were away, but when he looked at the pitcher he could not bear the thought of leaving it. What sort of man do you think Subha Datta was from what this story tells you about him? What do you think was the chief cause of his becoming discontented after he had been in the service of the fairies for a few days?
If so, why do you not tell me? Have you lost your lawsuit? Then why not say so? If you do not tell me anything else, at least give me news of your health." Nagendra replied: "Do not be angry with me. I am going to destruction." Hara Deb was very wise. On reading this letter he thought to himself: "What is this? Anxiety about money? A quarrel with some friend? Debendra Datta? Nothing of the kind.
Subha Datta was very fond of showing off what he could do, and sometimes asked his old friends amongst the woodcutters to come and have a meal with him. When they arrived they would find all sorts of good things spread out on the ground and different kinds of wines in beautiful bottles.
This time they gave other reasons why Subha Datta should not have it. "It will break very easily," they told him, "and then it will be no good to you or any one else. But if you take some of the money, you can buy anything you like with it. If you take some of the jewels you can sell them for lots of money." "No! no! no!" cried the woodcutter. "The pitcher! the pitcher! I will have the pitcher!"
Gascoyne Cecil came next on the transformation of China, and was followed by Dennis of Madagascar and Dr. Datta, a living witness of the power of Christianity in the great Indian empire.
Could I go back there? if she would not drive me away I would go." Day and night Kunda revolved these thoughts; she soon determined that she must return to the Datta house or she would die; that even if Surja Mukhi should again drive her away, she must make the attempt. She would be ashamed to go thither alone.
He spoke to the ring, and his beautiful wife and house reappeared, and he and everybody were as happy as ever they could be. The future Buddha was once born in a minister's family, when Brahma- datta was reigning in Benares; and when he grew up, he became the king's adviser in things temporal and spiritual.
