Judgement

There lived a old and respectable woman in a village. The visitors to the village, took shelter in her house. They pay a small amount for the hospitality given by her. She was known for honesty in the village. One day, 4 friends came to her house. They requested to keep a bag with her, as they were going to far off place on some work. They asked to give  the bag only when all 4 of them return and ask for it. The old lady accepted the request.
  Few days later, one among the four friends, came to the old woman and said, "My  friends are in another town busy in an important work. So, they asked me to collect the bag from you". The old woman trusted the person, and returned the bag. After few days, the other three friends came and asked for the bag. The woman got worried and explained about, what happened. They demanded, "we asked you to return the bag, only when all four of us come and ask for it. How come you gave the bag to him. You have to return the money". They reported the matter to Maryada Ramanna, the village head. They demanded that,"since the woman is the reason for the losing their bag, she has to return all the money".  After listening to them, Maryada Ramanna passed the judgement, "yes. She will return your money. However, it is only when all four of you come and ask for it". After hearing the judgement, the old woman and the villagers felt happy. The friends who intended to cheat the old woman, had to leave the place silently.
