Rama: But what if he's in the yard?
Rama's wife: Then I'll call out a little louder. Rama, Rama!
Thief: I wish they would stop this silly game and talk about their money instead. Or fall asleep at least!
Rama: But my dear, what if the boy is not in the house or in the yard, but in the street?
Rama's wife: Oh, then I'll call out very loudly… Rama! Rama!
Kotwal: Listen! Rama! Rama! [Rama the village kotwal heard his name] Rama, the village kotwal, ran to the house from which he heard his name being called.
OH, OH! Some thief has dug his way into this house. Ah, at last they've stopped their chatter!
Thief: Now soon they'll go to sleep and… EH!
