A warrior Tarkaan stops at the hut of Arsheesh and demands hospitality for the night. While dining the Tarkaan speaks his mind about buying the boy, Shasta. Here again we find the hypocrite, Arsheesh quoting the poets. “’ Natural affection is stronger than soup and offspring more precious than carbuncles’”. The haggling over a fair price for the boy goes on through the night.
