The boy kept on beating the drum, though his father tried to stop him, saying, “Beat it only now and again, as if some great lord were passing by.” At first the robbers were scared away, but they soon discovered that the two were alone and robbed them of their money. - [Previous: v2.c30.659](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.659) - [Next: v2.c30.661](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.661) - [Up: v2.c30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.660](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c30.660) · Pramāṇa
