He could make robes of rags, which he dyed so skilfully that they looked new and costly. Visiting monks, on seeing them, would exchange their new robes for his old ones and not discover their folly till later. A similar robe-maker lived in a hamlet at some distance from Jetavana, who, hearing of the Jetavana monk, succeeded in cheating him. The monk was the crane and the hamlet-dweller the crab of the story.¹ - [Previous: v2.c29.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.6) - [Next: v2.c29.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.8) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.7) · Pramāṇa
