As Vikram carried Beta, he told him another story.
In the kingdom of king Kiripal lived a big giant who used to eat
people. All the people were terrified. The king announced that whoever
could kill the giant would get the princess's hand in marriage as a
reward. Many people tried to win the reward but were killed by the demon.
One day, an ordinary village boy, Bholu killed the Giant. The king did not
want to marry his daughter to him. So, he declared that Bholu would be
given a test before he got the reward. But Bholu refused to take any
reward. The princes insisted that
she would marry Bholu.
Betal asked Vikram, "Why did they act in that way?" Vikram
replied, "Bholu declined the reward because he had killed the giant
for the welfare of people. The princess declared to marry Bholu to keep
her father's word." Betal heard this and flew away.
