They had all fallen into the well ?O, noble Brahmin,?the jaguar called out to him, ?Please help me out, so that I can go back to my family. "But you are a jaguar," said Krishnan, ?How do I know you will not kill me?? "Don?t be afraid of me, I promise I will not do you any harm," replied the jaguar. Krishnan reached into the well and pulled out the jaguar. The jaguar thanked him and said ?I?m Shersingh I live in a cave in the mountains. I shall be most delighted if I can repay my debt to you someday.?Krishnan then heard the monkey calling out to him from the well. The Brahmin at once pulled the monkey out.The monkey thanked the Brahmin. ?If you are ever in need of food, just drop in at my place below that big mountain Bali is my name ?Now the snake called out to him for help,?Help you!, exclaimed Krishnan ?You are a snake What if you bite me ??

Please give me a good price for them ."Seth Ghanshyamdas took the jewellery and examined it carefully. ?I shall certainly help you,?he said. ?But let me show them to another goldsmith.

Krishnan cried and then told the snake what happened. ?I have a plan.? hissed Naagesh. ?I shall creep into the Queen?s room and bite her said Naagesh, ?She will faint.
