How did the man and his wife get help from the kotwal?
The man and wife cleverly called out 'Rama' – the kotwal's name – at different volumes. First they called softly, then loudly, and finally very loudly.
When Rama heard his name being called, he ran to the house and caught the thief who had entered.
