Ghantu Jyoru had to be worried man s within hour there would be night and it was difficult to find out those goats and sheep in dark in that Danda (Hill forest). He called to his wife from village that she could take goat herd to village and he could go back to forest for finding the lost goat and sheep. While Ghantu Jyoru was waiting his wife to take goat herds, Gabul Dada Jyoru (Gabul -Grandfather in law) came from village side.
 Gabul Jyoru asked to Ghantu Jyoru,” Uncle! What happened?”
Ghantu Jyoru replied,” I lost three goats and two Sheep”
Gabul Jyoru said,” Oh that Spotted goat and other goats?”
Ghantu Jyoru replied,” Yes! Yes! Out o five one goat is spotted one.”
Gabul Jyoru answered,” From my house I saw that those were grazing above the road in Kaunda Bhel” and he said further,” I think, at that time you already crossed that road”
