Old man goes on a pilgrimage and leaves a bag of money with his friend. Later, the friend denies having received it. "Where did it happen?" Birbal asks. "In a mango grove under a mango tree," says old man. "Bring the tree as witness!" says Birbal. Old man does as told. After he has been gone a while, Birbal says he will be back soon. "No," says the man, "it's a really long way." They wait till the man returns. "The tree refused to move," says the old man. "No matter," says Birbal; "the man betrayed himself already when he said how far the mango grove was."
