But how had the old priest died by eating of it ? It was by a mere accident. One day a huge serpent was sleeping on a branch of the mango-tree, and its head hung over one of the fruit ; poison dropped from its mouth and fell on the rind of that fruit ; the gardener, who had no knowledge of this, when asked to bring a fruit for the priest, happened to bring the one on which the poison had fallen, and the priest having eaten it, died. And now the king caused proclamation to be made throughout his... kingdom that all who pleased might come and partake of the mango-fruit, and everyone ate of it and became young.
