Chapter 2

The day of discussion has arrived, everyone gathered at the Alinchuvadu, at the middle of the forest, even if heavy shower is continuing. The King was throned on a big rock near Alinchuvadu. Everyone gathered around him.The gathering included the mighty tigers, the huge elephants, the fast deers, the slow tortoise, the cute rabbits and rats, the forest doctor owl, the birds, monkeys, bears, even the small snail.....The Cricket fly was in charge of sending the latest updates regarding the discussion to the fishes as "Echo mails".

The Minister of the Forest, Kurukketan, the cunning fox, checked the list of all who appeared for the event. His eyes were suddenly glittered with joy, he had found someone missing in the list...

The discussion started, everyone was explaining their difficulties.... and as always no one bothered about a solution. Suddenly the Kurukketan, started speaking.

"Dear people, we have suffered a lot during the past 3 weeks, but we are not bothered about the reason behind this."

Suddenly everyone looked at Kurukketan. Each of them were expecting a solution for all their problems from him. Kurukketan continued. " We all know that this was the land of prosperity and happiness, 3 weeks ago. But after that everything changed. Why?". He paused for a second and continued.

"We know that, Kakathampuratti, has arrived this forest only 3 weeks ago. After her arrival, one of our beloved member, Anathambi(The Elephant leader) was missing. So I would conclude that she is a curse to our forest."

Suddenly everyone started discussing about Kakathampuratti. "All Forest Birds Association"(AFBA), stood for Kakathampuratti, but others voted against her....

"Everyone want someone to blame, and this time it is Kakathampuratti." Kaalletan, the ox saint whispered.

Suddenly the Simhathampuran stood and announced in a Royal way. "We conclude that Kakathampurati is a curse to our forest. Also I came to know that, she is missing in this meeting. So I order to execute her" He continued "and the meeting is over"

Everyone returned to their home arguing about the decision.
