In the outskirt of Haridwar city, there was a jungle. A road went through that jungle to the city.
There was no one present in that area as it was pretty dark out there. The sound of howling animals scared the life out of the traveller who dared to go there in the night.

It was midnight. The night of Vaishakh Amavasya. A man was walking through the woods. His footsteps showed he was in a hurry. There was expression of fear on his face. He was very well aware of the stories about the scary voices that echo in the woods in the night.
He used to return from work before sunset but he had to do overtime on the day.He searched for any public transport but he did'nt get any public transport.
As he was walking, the voice of wild animals were echoing through the forest ,fell in his ears.
He starting running in fear of any encounter with wild animal.
As he was running, he tripped on something and fell down.
He was lucky to not get hurt. He rubbed his knees and elbows and stood up. He turned back to check what came in his way.
There was a red coloured pouch lying there.
He took the pouch in his hand. It was quite heavy.
He opened the pouch with curiosity as well as a bit of fear. To his surprise, there were gold coins in the pouch.
His eyes lit up as he saw the gold coin.
He looked around before keeping the pouch in his pocket.
He reached his home late in the night.
His wife, waiting for him to arrive, opened the door and served him dinner.
After eating dinner, he secretly kept the gold coins in his locker.
He was unaware of what he brought in his house was not just any coins.
