King Silver Plume heard all that Long-Bill said. And they waited along with Chakravaka, the goose who was the prime minister, for the parrot to come. But Chakravaka wished to speak privately to the King. He advised the King to send a spy into the enemy’s kingdom before going into a war. The spy should go there to live in some respectable place and become familiar with the place and the people. He should also be accompanied by another friend who would be the messenger to bring news from the spy to King Silver Plume. Meanwhile, Chakravaka advised the King that they would begin to build their fortifications and prepare a store of food in case they needed more provisions during war. Thus, they would try for peace, but be ready if they had to fight a war.
