Servant—Ah, I have been cheated, since the mistress, leaning her upper body out of the window with her breasts bent low, did not see the trembling of my ear-ornament!
Courtesan—Wonder comes easily to low people. What is the cause of your arrogance?
Servant—Let the mistress listen. By the auspicious elephant Bhadrakapotaka, who with furious speed was bathed and turned loose, making the king's highway smell of flowing mada, a certain ascetic was confronted in the king's highway crowded with many men, made conspicuous by the dyed colour of his upper garment.
Courtesan—Ah! And then? And then?
Servant—Then, while he was being battered by the trunk of the elephant, tossed between its tusks, and had his feet caught in the trunk of the elephant, and then, as the crowd cried out, "Alas, alas, he is torn apart! Alas, alas, he is killed!", I struck a blow with my hand, turned the elephant aside, and rescued that mendicant ascetic.
Courtesan—I am pleased! And then? And then?
Servant—Then all the people said: "Oh, what a deed by the servant!" But not a soul wished to give anything. Then, mistress, a certain high-born youth, looking at the customary places for ornaments, feeling with his thumb but seeing nothing obtained, reproached fate, sighed deeply, thought, "This much is my wealth," and sent this cloak by the hand of his servant.
Courtesan—(looking at the maidservant) Who indeed could imitate the virtues of noble Cārudatta?
