The Tale of the GheeBlinded Brahmin

# The Tale of the Ghee-Blinded Brahmin

In a quaint village, there lived a Brahmin named Yagnadatta with his cunning wife. With clever hands and a mischievous heart, she baked sweetmeats in ghee, sneaking away to visit her secret love. One day, Yagnadatta, filled with curiosity, asked her, "Darling, why do you bake these delights and where do you venture each day?" With sly eyes, she lied, "A temple nearby, where I offer the sacred treats to the goddess after fasting."
