And thought, ‘I am very lucky that my lover has remembered me.’(9)

‘He should come early in morning at the back of the house and clap his hands twice.’(10)

‘I will place the bag (containing money) on the wall and, I insist, he must take it away.(11)
In the morning he clapped his hands, which the lady heard,
She placed the bag on the wall to collect, but unlucky one did not know the secret.(12)

And the foolish woman did not discern the real mystery.
