The rivulet said with excitement:
“An idea has struck my mind. The place from where I flow everyday, a cottage exists wherein a learned old man lives. He should know the answer of many questions. Let us go and visit his cottage.”
The deer said:
“It is a good idea. I am prepared, even with this limping leg, to run towards the cottage all the way.”
The mourning willow looked at her trunks and said:
“It is a good idea, but my root is in the ground. How can I come with you to the cottage of the old man?”
