it so happened that the jogi some time after went to the house of a village chief, and after playing a tune or two on his fiddle asked for something to eat. they offered to buy his fiddle and promised a high price for it, but he refused to sell it, as his fiddle brought to him his means of livelihood. when they saw that he was not to be prevailed upon, they gave him food and a plentiful supply of liquor. of the latter he drank so freely that he presently became intoxicated. while he was in this condition, they took away his fiddle, and substituted their own old one for it. when the jogi recovered, he missed his instrument, and suspecting that it had been stolen asked them to return it to him. they denied having taken it, so he had to depart, leaving his fiddle behind him. the chief's son, being a musician, used to play on the jogi's fiddle, and in his hands the music it gave forth delighted the ears of all who heard it.
