The person who is good at heart will get the most amount of jewellery. So one day a boy reached he was a young boy travelling all the way to the place to gain knowledge about the village and even heard about the mysterious fountain. He was very curious to know if it really gave jewellery or if it is some kind of rumour that is spreading everywhere. He was a researcher who likes to explore and was also very anxious about the jewellery fountain. The old man who was a caretaker of that fountain used to live in a hut nearby. So the boy names Riky wanted to go there and ask about it. The old man got up when seeing the boy. The old man said why have you come here go away don't you know that this place is prohibited? But the boy told me why I have heard that this fountain gives wealth let me also try. I want to explore. The old man said it was before now the fountain does not give wealth. Riki was standing and examining the fountain. The fountain was rather very old and the nearby was also not suitable for any visitor to go and take any refuge. There was an old house too sticking to the fountain. The old man said once it was a real beauty and now the beauty has faded away, so the boy said then till now why people are spreading rumours about the fountain that it gives jewellery to poor and righteous people. The old man said that those are false rumours don't believe hurry up and go from here. The boy said then why are you here then how come it is not affecting you? The old man said that it is his job and he knows everything so he is not afraid. He can handle himself and moreover, he doesn't stay here. He used to stay but now the whole area is prohibited. Prohibited for good as it has become too dangerous for people to stay. Then the boy left and when he looked back the old man had vanished. The old man was not there he wanted to ask another question. The question was where could find a house here? He was so much afraid how come the old man go away so quickly? The man said the place is prohibited. As he was a daring person he wanted to explore so he ignored what the old man had told him. He was that he had found a house that is so big. Why he would go to some hotel and live there? So he entered the house. The house had suddenly become so beautiful by his footsteps entering. The fountain regained its originality. Then he went to the fountain and as he touched the fountain he found jewellery. He was so happy to get it. Then he took out one bag and started to fill his bag. So hurriedly he filled but didn't take the risk to run away at night as it was dark and the weather was cold even. And beyond there was jungle. So in the early morning, he thought of leaving. Luckily when he entered the house he saw everything was well furnished then why did the old man say that the place is prohibited? Then managed to light the house and found a room where he can spend the rest of the night. Then he remembered about the old man and the way he was defending the house. The old had entered the house. He was panic-stricken he told that you have entered the house. Then the boy said you don't live here how come you are inside the house and earlier you have left. The boy asked the man for food as he was so hungry. The man said there is no food available there is food in the basement go and take it by yourself. The boy was clever and intelligent he said that this house is unknown to him as the old man knew about the house so told him to get it. The man said okay wait. Then he went away. Then he didn't come back. Then he was feeling hungry. Then went to the basement, when he reached there he saw food and then when was about to step outside the door automatically locked itself. He became so afraid that he started to sweat then he tried to break open the door. Then he managed to break and went upstairs to the room and saw the bag filled with ornaments gone missing. He saw a lady talking to a man they both looked so gorgeous in their attire.


Then they were talking about some intruder that has come inside their house. They told if they found out surely they would murder him. Riki got very frightened he was badly shivering and sweating. Then as he was not a coward. He went in front of them and said who are you'll then they said okay you are Mr Riki who stole our ornaments and is resting inside our house. Why have spread all these rumours about the fountain? Then the lady said that we never did. There is an old man who is spreading all the news and tricking all the people. And the thing is that the ornaments are also missing. Then he quickly remembered how he was tricked earlier for food. That time he had taken the bag from there. Now he told the truth that he was not related to that man at any cost. Then they told me if you don't find that man within these three to six days then you would be killed and if you manage to find him then your life will be saved and you would get some jewellery as a reward. So he said that the okay challenge was accepted. Riki went to the room and was thinking about the man where he could go. Now is the right time to handle the case because he was appointed for it. Now everything was a bit puzzling. He was puzzled whether the old man was lying or the lady and man were lying. He waited and sneaked from the window the moon was shining and looked so gorgeous. The place was not a prohibited one they were making up stories. Then he rested for a while he saw that the old man had come inside the room and he had the bag filled with jewellery inside. So the old man said it is the right time to escape from here. They even brought one car. So when they were running I took out my pistol how dare you to run away you'll say the ornaments yours and the house is yours then why are you'll are running away? Then the man came out from nowhere and punched his face it is none of your business you are no one to interfere. The lady said it is my house and these ornaments are mine so you are not supposed to interfere then Riki said then why were you running away from your own house in the middle of the night. The lady said that she is running because she has another farmhouse. Oh no you can't fool me like this I am a detective and the case is closed you'll are cheaters and the owner of the house had appointed me to solve the case and moreover I heard you'll converse with the old man and everything. How you cheat people and recorded it. You'll be quite smart enough to fool people. The lady then told that yes she was not the owner and she cheats people she is a big thug and she expected she could frighten Riki with her ruthless words. Then soon Riki was interested in knowing how come when he entered the house everything looked beautiful then she told that I quickly managed to set it as it was preplanned and designed like that. We did it beforehand and the ornament came up suddenly. There is a kind of secret chamber that is fitted inside the fountain, when you touch the fountain the chamber open pushing out the jewellery. Then the master plan was to trick a person who come and help them in this work. Then the man would suffer for the theft which was not intentionally done by him. So we plan to spread false rumours. So we thought you would be the man. Then the old man was pretty keen to distract to make a man even more curious and eager with his false verdict. 

Then Riki was congratulated for his bravery and got some jewellery as a reward.
