Is the Daughter’s complaint about the Goldsmith true?
Advertisements
उत्तर
No, the Moneylender's Daughter's allegations about the Goldsmith were partly true and partly untrue. The Goldsmith may have delayed the delivery of the ornaments, but this doesn't make him personally responsible for the damaged pot. To rescue herself, the moneylender's daughter blamed the goldsmith.
