He walked and walked and finally reached a temple. The temple was very crowded. The people were standing in a queue. At the front of the queue, there was a shiny pedestal. “What is happening?” asked Bruce to a person standing next to him.
“You see,” said that person pointing to the crown, “that’s a magic crown. It will glow brightly when a very kind man and a selfless person touches it. He will be the rightful owner of that crown. Go ahead! Try touching it.” “I am not interested,” said Bruce. “But why? Why don’t you touch it, Sir?” People around him persuaded him to touch it reluctantly.

The crown proved to be a lucky charm. As he entered his village, the rain showered. He soon regained all his lost wealth. All the people of that village including Bruce lived happily ever after. Also, read The Magic Millstone.
