Dairyman
My poor child, whatever has happened to you?
Amal
I can't tell. You see I am not learned, so I don't know what's the matter with me. Say, Dairyman, where do you come from?
Dairyman
From our village.
Amal
Your village? Is it very far?
Dairyman
Our village lies on the river Shamli at the foot of the Panch-mura hills.
Amal
Panch-mura hills! Shamli river! I wonder. I may have seen your village. I can't think when though!
