A villager was going to the city. He was travelling with his wife and son. On the way, they decided to take a rest. They saw a banyan tree and took shelter under it. The wife started preparing food. The villager started making rope to while away his time. Now, a giant lived on that banyan tree. He saw the villager making rope and came down. The giant asked the villager, “What are you doing?” The witty villager replied, “I am making rope to tie you.” The giant was a coward and got scared. He pleaded to the villager, “Please do not tie me. I will give you a gift if you spare me.” Saying this, the giant went and came back with a pot. He gave the pot to the villager. When the villager opened the pot, it was full of gold coins. The villager said to the giant, “Hmm! Now I will spare your life.”
