Keshav and Yash lived in neighbouring villages. Once, a fair was held nearby and they set off
from their homes hoping to do some business there. Keshav filled his sack with cheap cotton,
overlaid it with a layer of fine wool, and set off for the fair. Meanwhile Yash, collected some old
clothes, put a layer of sheer cotton on top and made his way to the fair. Each stopped to rest
under a tree and got to talking. “I have the finest wool in my sack,” boasted Keshav Not to be
outdone, Yash said, “I have cotton of the most superior quality.”
