उत्तर
Jumman’s verdict as head Panch was that since the bullock did not suffer from any disability or disease when Sahu bought it, Algu could not be blamed for its death. Therefore, Sahu would have to pay Algu the price of the bullock.
When Algu heard Jumman’s decision, he could not contain his feelings of joy. He stood up and said loudly over and over again, “Victory to the panchayat. This is justice. God lives in the heart of the Panch.”

It was a summer evening,
Old Kaspar's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun,
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.

Roll something large and round,
Which he beside the rivulet
In playing there had found;
He came to ask what he had found,
That was so large, and smooth, and round.

For there's many here about;
And often when I go to plough,
The ploughshare turns them out!
For many thousand men,"said he,
"Were slain in that great victory."
