The Green Leaves

This story starts out with a man(Nyagar) in his hut noticing a commotion outside. He grabbed his spear and waited while three men ran by followed by a much larger mob. He proceeded to follow the mob and learned that the three men were cattle thieves. They caught up to the thieves and proceeded to beat them. Two of them escaped and the mob left the last one unconscious on the ground to die. They covered his body with green leaves and went back to their huts to bury him in the morning. Nyagar, after returning to his hut, decides too go back to the body to loot it. When he finds the man's money pouch, he tries to take it off his neck and right as he does this, the man wakes up and stabs Nyagar in the eye. He then covers up Nyagar's body in leaves and runs away. The next morning, thirty men in the village go to the police to tell them what happened. The police come to the village and try to get a single person to admit to killing the thief. When no one steps forward, the police uncover the body only to find Nyagar's body instead. Nyagar's wife and relatives begin to cry and the village mourned his death.
