SUMMARY
Ramayya was a simple man, who lived in a town. His house was made of tiled roofs. He lived with
his wife. He was not ridh. But he took good care of his family. On the roof of his house, two sparrows
buit a nest. The mother-bird laid her eggs in it. The male-bird wanted to help Ramayya, as he noticed
Ramayya's wife always quarrelling with him. But the female bird advised her male bird not to bother
about others. But to mind their own business.
One day, the male-bird found a diamond nose-jewel in a heap. When he showed it to his wife, she
replied that it was of no use to her. So she asked him to find some tood for the young ones. The bird
dropped the diamond stud on the floor and went out in search of food.
Remayya's wife noticed the jewel esshe was sweeping the tloor. She picked it with delight and
wore it. Her husband shouted at her and told her that they should go and deliver it to the magistrate.
But his wife wouldnt want to part with it.
