Among them was a very poor man who, having nothing else to offer at the tree, took a cake made of husk powder. But when he saw the other rich offerings, he felt that the sprite would never accept so humble a gift and wished to eat the cake himself. The tree-sprite appeared, took the offering, and revealed to the man that heaps of treasure lay buried under the tree. The man informed the king of this, and the king, in return, appointed him royal treasurer. - [Previous: v1.c12.2389](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2389) - [Next: v1.c12.2391](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2391) - [Up: v1.c12](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2390](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c12.2390) · Pramāṇa
