Remark:
This is the Panchatantra story of The Iron-Eating Rat, narrated in the past. It contains another prize-winning clause: he thought it should be wised to put someone taking a look iron stored in his home. In this version, the former iron merchant became a schoolmaster, and his old friend sent his son to this school.... His story was that an owl took away the son. Not all would ascribe to this moral: Treat the one who treated you badly in the same way.
