00:00Once upon a time, in a faraway village, there lived an old man named Tari.

00:06Tari was not rich, but he had a very beautiful and happy family.

00:11He was a hard-working farmer, but he didn't have a farm of his own.

00:16Instead, he worked on other people's farms.

00:20Tari made sure his wife and children were always satisfied, even though they didn't have much.

00:26Tari's wife was beautiful and worked as a trader in the market, selling vegetables and fruits.

00:33Every morning, she prepared her goods with a smile and went to the market to support the family.

00:39Tari and his wife had three children, two sons and a pretty daughter.

00:45They were all happy and loved each other deeply.

00:48Though they didn't have much money, their home was filled with love and joy.

00:53In the evenings, after a long day's work, Tari would come home tired but content.

01:00His wife welcomed him with a warm meal, and the children ran to hug him.

01:05They would sit together, laugh, and share stories.

01:09Tari's life was simple, filled with love and joy,

01:13showing that true wealth is measured by the happiness shared with those you care about.

01:18Tari had many friends in the village, but they were all wealthier than him.

01:24As time went on, these friends began to drift away because Tari was not as rich as they were.

01:30They didn't want to be seen with someone who was so poor.

01:34Tari felt sad, but he always told himself,

01:38My family is what matters most.

01:41One day, there was a big gathering in the village.

01:45Tari decided to go, hoping to enjoy some time with his old friends.

01:51When he arrived, he saw his friends laughing, eating, and drinking together.

01:57They seemed happy to see him at first and invited him to join them.

02:02Tari sat down and shared a meal with his friends.

02:06But after they finished eating, something happened that made Tari feel very sad.

02:12One of his friends stood up and said,

02:15Tari, since you are not as rich as us, you should pack the plates.

02:20Tari was shocked.

02:21He said, We are all friends, and I'm older than you all.

02:26Just because I don't have as much money as you, doesn't mean you can treat me this way.

02:32Everyone should pack their own plate.

02:35But his friends laughed and said,

02:37If you don't pack the plates, we'll tell the seller that you haven't paid.

02:42That will be even more embarrassing for you.

02:46Tari had no choice.

02:48He packed the plates and left the gathering feeling very sad and humiliated.

02:54He walked home slowly, thinking about how unfairly he had been treated.

03:00When he got home, his wife noticed he was unhappy

03:04and asked, Tari, what happened?

03:07Tari sighed and replied,

03:10My friends treated me badly today because I am not as rich as they are.

03:16But it doesn't matter.

03:17I will always do my best for you and our children.

03:21Tari continued to work hard every day, despite the way his friends treated him.

03:27He knew that his family needed him,

03:29and he was determined to make sure they were always happy and taken care of.

03:35Even though he was sad, his love for his family kept him strong.

03:40Tari was known in the village for his hard work.

03:44He worked on many different farms, but he never had a farm of his own.

03:49He would spend long hours in the hot sun, planting and harvesting crops.

03:54Sometimes, the people he worked for would not pay him right away.

03:59They would say, come back tomorrow, Tari.

04:02But when he returned, they would still not pay him.

04:06Tari's friends, who were wealthier, often took advantage of him.

04:12They would ask him to do menial and degrading tasks,

04:16like washing their clothes or cleaning their houses.

04:19One day, Tari asked a friend for some money to buy food for his family.

04:24His friend laughed and said,

04:27If you want money, you must clean my house and wash my clothes.

04:32Tari felt humiliated, but agreed because he needed the money to feed his family.

04:39He spent the whole day cleaning and washing.

04:42And by the time he was done, he was exhausted.

04:46His friend gave him a small amount of money, much less than what he had earned.

04:52But Tari took it without complaining.

04:54Another time, Tari worked on a friend's farm from sunrise to sunset.

05:00He worked tirelessly, but when it was time to get paid,

05:04his friend said, I don't have the money right now.

05:07Come back next week.

05:09Tari felt frustrated, but he had no choice.

05:13He needed the work to support his family.

05:15Despite all the unfair treatment and hard work, Tari never gave up.

05:22He would wake up early every day and go to work.

05:26No matter how tired he was, he knew his family depended on him.

05:32And he wanted to make sure they had enough to eat and a roof over their heads.

05:38The time for harvest arrived and Tari knew it was a chance to earn some money.

05:44He decided to approach Chief Azuka,

05:48the richest man in the village who had the biggest farm.

05:52Tari hoped that working for Chief Azuka would help him provide better for his family.

05:58Early one morning, Tari went to Chief Azuka's house and greeted him respectfully.

06:04Good morning, Chief Azuka.

06:06I would like to help with the harvest on your farm.

06:10I have my two sons who can help too, Tari said.

06:14Chief Azuka looked at Tari and said,

06:18Very well, Tari, my farm is large and I need all the help I can get.

06:23You can start tomorrow.

06:25The next day, Tari and his two sons woke up before the sun rose.

06:30They made their way to Chief Azuka's farm and began working tirelessly.

06:35They worked under the hot sun, picking crops and placing them in large sacks.

06:41They worked through heavy rain, determined to finish the harvest on time.

06:46Tari's sons were strong and hardworking, just like their father.

06:51Together, they made a great team.

06:54Day after day, they labored on Chief Azuka's farm, their hands rough and their backs aching.

07:02But they never complained because they knew

07:05their hard work would bring food and happiness to their family.

07:09Finally, after many days of hard work, the harvest was complete.

07:14The crops were neatly packed in sacks and stored in the barn.

07:20Tari felt a sense of accomplishment and relief.

07:23He wiped the sweat from his brow and said to his sons,

07:27We did it. Now let's go and get our payment from Chief Azuka.

07:32Tari went to Chief Azuka and said,

07:35Chief, we have finished the harvest. Can we please have our payment?

07:39Chief Azuka nodded and handed Tari some money.

07:43Here is one third of what I owe you. Come back tomorrow for the rest, Chief Azuka said.

07:49Tari was surprised.

07:51Chief Azuka had never asked him to return for the rest of the payment before.

07:56But he took the money and thanked the chief.

07:59When Tari returned home, he gave some money to his wife and said,

08:04Cook a delicious meal for the children tonight. They deserve it.

08:09That night, Tari's wife noticed he was not sleeping.

08:13She turned to him and asked,

08:15Tari, why are you so moody? Did something happen at Chief Azuka's farm?

08:22Tari sighed and replied,

08:24Chief Azuka did not pay me fully. He told me to come back tomorrow for the rest.

08:30I am worried because he has never done this before.

08:33His wife hugged him and said,

08:36Don't worry, Tari. You have worked hard and everything will be fine.

08:41Let's enjoy our meal with the children tonight.

08:43Tari nodded and tried to put his worries aside.

08:47He knew he had to go back to Chief Azuka the next day to get the rest of his payment.

08:53Despite his concerns, he remained hopeful and continued to focus on his family,

08:58who were his greatest source of strength and happiness.

09:02The following day, Tari returned to Chief Azuka's house

09:06to collect the remaining payment for his hard work.

09:10As he approached the Chief's grand house, Tari felt a mix of hope and worry.

09:15He needed the money but was wary of the Chief's unexpected generosity from the previous day.

09:22Chief Azuka greeted Tari with a warm smile.

09:26Ah, Tari, welcome back.

09:29Come, sit with me. Let us share some food and drink,

09:33he said, gesturing towards a table laden with delicious food.

09:37Tari hesitated but sat down as the Chief's maid served him.

09:42The hospitality felt unusual and Tari couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss.

09:49However, he decided to listen and see what Chief Azuka had to say.

09:54After they had eaten, Chief Azuka leaned back in his chair and said,

09:59Tari, you have worked hard all your life.

10:02You deserve more than just a few coins for your labor.

10:06I have an opportunity for you to become rich without all this hard work.

10:11You just have to see my old friend at the edge of the forest.

10:16Tari was taken aback.

10:19Chief Azuka, what do you mean?

10:21How can I become rich without working hard?

10:25The Chief smiled and replied,

10:27There is a way, Tari, a way that requires a small ritual but no bloodshed.

10:33You are getting older and soon you won't be able to provide for your family through physical labor.

10:40Think about it.

10:41Tari's heart raced.

10:43The idea of becoming rich without hard work was tempting but he was also cautious.

10:50I don't know Chief Azuka.

10:53This sounds risky.

10:54What kind of ritual is this?

10:57Chief Azuka reached into his robe and pulled out a large bundle of money.

11:03He handed it to Tari and said,

11:06Here, take this.

11:07It is ten times the amount I owe you.

11:10Think of it as a gift, a small taste of what you could have.

11:15Take your time to decide.

11:17There is no rush.

11:19Tari's eyes widened at the sight of so much money.

11:23He had never seen such a large sum in his life.

11:28He took the bundle with trembling hands and thanked the Chief.

11:32Thank you, Chief Azuka.

11:34I will think about your offer and let you know my decision.

11:38As Tari walked home, his mind was filled with conflicting thoughts.

11:43The money in his hand felt heavy and the offer weighed even heavier on his heart.

11:49When he arrived home, his wife saw the bundle of money and her eyes widened in surprise.

11:57Tari, where did you get all this money?

11:59She asked.

12:01Tari sighed and explained everything that had happened.

12:05Chief Azuka gave me this money and made an offer for easy riches.

12:10He said it involves a ritual but no bloodshed.

12:14I don't know what to do.

12:15It's so much money and it could change our lives.

12:19His wife listened carefully, her face full of concern.

12:24Tari, this offer sounds too good to be true.

12:28We have always lived honestly and worked hard for what we have.

12:32Be very careful.

12:34Easy riches can bring great trouble.

12:37Tari nodded, knowing she was right.

12:40I will think about it carefully.

12:42We must not rush into anything that could harm our family.

12:46That night, Tari lay awake, staring at the ceiling.

12:50The money was hidden safely, but his thoughts were far from peaceful.

12:56He knew he had to make a decision soon,

12:58but he wanted to ensure it was the right one for his family.

13:02The promise of easy riches was tempting, but the unknown risks kept him cautious.

13:08Tari spent the next few days wrestling with Chief Azuka's offer.

13:14The bundle of money was a constant reminder of the wealth that could be his.

13:20He thought about his family, his children's future, and the endless struggles they had faced.

13:27The temptation of an easier life was hard to resist.

13:31One evening, as the sun set, Tari made up his mind.

13:36He decided to accept Chief Azuka's offer, hoping it would bring prosperity to his family.

13:43He told his wife,

13:45I have made my decision.

13:47I will go to the forest's edge tomorrow and meet the old man for the ritual.

13:53His wife looked at him with worried eyes, but nodded.

13:59Tari, please be careful.

14:02Our family's happiness means more than wealth.

14:06Promise me you will come back safe.

14:09Tari hugged her tightly and promised,

14:12I will come back safe.

14:14This is for our future.

14:16The next day, Tari made his way to the forest's edge where the old man lived.

14:22The forest was dark and thick, with trees that seemed to whisper secrets.

14:28Tari's heart pounded as he approached the old man's hut.

14:32The old man, with a long white beard and wise eyes, greeted him.

14:37Ah, Tari, Chief Azuka told me you would come.

14:40Are you ready for the ritual? the old man asked.

14:44Tari nodded, his voice trembling slightly.

14:47Yes, I am ready.

14:50The old man led Tari to a clearing in the forest.

14:54In the center of the clearing was a circle made of stones,

14:59and inside the circle were strange symbols drawn on the ground.

15:04The old man began to chant.

15:06His voice low and rhythmic, filling the air with an eerie feeling.

15:12Tari stood in the circle, feeling a mix of fear and anticipation.

15:18The old man approached him with a small bowl of dark oil and said,

15:23This ritual will grant you wealth without shedding blood.

15:27Rub this oil on your body and the gods will bless you.

15:32Tari took the oil and, with trembling hands, began to rub it on his skin.

15:38The old man continued to chant, and the air around them seemed to shimmer.

15:43As Tari applied the oil, he felt a strange warmth spread through his body.

15:48The old man then placed his hands on Tari's head and said,

15:53You have been chosen. The gods will grant you riches.

15:57But remember, there is always a price to pay.

16:01Be wise and use your wealth for good.

16:04With those words, the ritual was complete.

16:08The old man handed Tari a small pouch filled with gold coins.

16:13This is just the beginning.

16:15More will come to you.

16:17Go now and take care of your family.

16:20Tari thanked the old man and left the forest,

16:23his heart filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension.

16:28When he returned home, his wife and children were waiting for him.

16:33He showed them the pouch of gold coins and their eyes widened in amazement.

16:39Tari, is this real? His wife asked, holding one of the coins.

16:45Yes, it is real. The gods have blessed us,

16:48Tari replied, hugging his family tightly.

16:52Our lives will change for the better now.

16:55That night, they celebrated with joy and hope.

16:59Tari felt a sense of relief, believing that the dark decision he had made

17:04would bring happiness and prosperity to his family.

17:09Little did he know, the true cause of his choice was yet to be revealed.

17:14In the days that followed the ritual, Tari's life began to change dramatically.

17:20His humble home was soon filled with wealth beyond his wildest dreams.

17:26Gold coins, fine clothes and beautiful ornaments adorned their once simple abode.

17:33Tari, who had always been seen as the poorest man in the village, was now one of the wealthiest.

17:40The villagers were astonished.

17:42Everywhere Tari went, people would stop and stare,

17:46whispering to one another about his sudden fortune.

17:50How did Tari become so rich overnight, they wondered.

17:53Some speculated that he had found a hidden treasure,

17:57while others believed he had been blessed by the gods.

18:00Tari's friends, who had once shunned him because of his poverty,

18:05now flocked to his side, eager to bask in the glow of his newfound wealth.

18:10They praised him, invited him to their homes

18:14and treated him with the respect they had previously denied him.

18:18But Tari remembered how they had treated him before,

18:22and he was cautious in his interactions with them.

18:26At home, Tari's family was overjoyed with their new lifestyle.

18:32His children wore fine clothes and had plenty of food to eat.

18:36They could now afford things they had only dreamed of.

18:40Tari's wife, however, felt a mix of joy and concern.

18:45She loved seeing her family happy.

18:48But she couldn't shake the unease about the mysterious source of their wealth.

18:52One evening, as they sat together in their newly furnished living room,

18:57Tari's wife turned to him and said,

19:00Tari, I am happy that we have all these things now.

19:04But I am worried.

19:06How did this happen so quickly?

19:09Where did all this money come from?

19:11Tari took her hand and looked into her eyes.

19:15The gods have blessed us, my love.

19:17They have seen our struggles and decided to reward us.

19:22I made a promise to them, and they have fulfilled it.

19:26You don't need to worry.

19:27His wife sighed, still feeling a shadow of doubt.

19:32I trust you, Tari.

19:33But please, be careful.

19:36Sometimes, great wealth can bring great trouble.

19:40Tari nodded, understanding her concern.

19:42I promise, I will always look out for our family.

19:46We have worked hard, and now it is our time to enjoy the blessings.

19:52As days turned into weeks, Tari's wealth continued to grow.

19:56He invested in land, bought more livestock, and even started his own farm.

20:03The villager's curiosity only grew.

20:06But Tari kept the secret of his wealth close to his heart, sharing it with no one.

20:12Despite the luxurious life they now led, Tari's wife kept a close watch on her husband.

20:19She noticed how he seemed more distant and preoccupied at times,

20:24as if a burden weighed heavily on his shoulders.

20:28She knew Tari loved their family dearly, but she couldn't help but wonder if the price of their

20:34newfound wealth was higher than they realized.

20:36For now, the family enjoyed their prosperity,

20:40and the village buzzed with stories of Tari's transformation.

20:45Little did they know, the true test of Tari's choices,

20:48and the price of his wealth, were still to come.

20:52As Tari's wealth grew, his old friends, who had once abandoned him due to his poverty,

20:57began to return.

20:59They were eager to be close to him again, drawn by his newfound riches.

21:04Every day, they would visit Tari's house,

21:07showering him with praise and asking how he had become so wealthy so quickly.

21:13One afternoon, as Tari sat in his grand living room,

21:17a group of his old friends came to see him.

21:20They brought gifts and spoke with exaggerated enthusiasm

21:24about how happy they were to see him doing well.

21:27Tari, old friend, one of them said,

21:30We are so proud of you. You have achieved so much in such a short time.

21:35Please tell us your secret. How did you become so rich?

21:40Tari smiled politely, but felt uneasy.

21:43He knew that revealing the true source of his wealth would bring trouble.

21:47I have been blessed by the gods, he replied.

21:50They saw my hard work and decided to reward me.

21:54His friends exchanged glances, not entirely convinced.

21:59One of them leaned closer and said,

22:02Come now, Tari. We are your friends. You can trust us.

22:06There must be more to it than just divine blessings.

22:11Tari maintained his calm demeanor.

22:13It is the truth. The gods have been kind to me.

22:17I cannot explain it any other way.

22:20His friends were persistent. They visited him regularly,

22:24each time trying different ways to coax the secret out of him.

22:28They would flatter him, bring him lavish gifts,

22:32and even offer to share their own wealth in exchange for his knowledge.

22:36Tari, think of how much more we could achieve together.

22:40Another friend suggested,

22:42If you share your secret, we can all be wealthy and powerful.

22:46But Tari remained firm.

22:48He knew that the secret of his wealth was not something he could share lightly.

22:53It was tied to a dark ritual,

22:56and he didn't want to drag anyone else into the dangerous pact he had made.

23:01I appreciate your offers, my friends, but I must decline.

23:05I cannot share what is not mine to give, Tari said.

23:09As time went on, his friends' persistence began to wane.

23:14They grew frustrated with Tari's reluctance

23:18and started to distance themselves once more.

23:21Some even whispered behind his back,

23:24spreading rumors and speculation about the true nature of his wealth.

23:28Tari felt the strain of their suspicion and the weight of the secret he carried.

23:35Despite the luxurious life he now led,

23:38he often found himself longing for the simple, honest days before the riches came.

23:45He missed the genuine companionship he once had,

23:48even if it was tainted by poverty.

23:51At home, Tari's wife noticed his troubled demeanor.

23:55One evening, as they sat together, she gently asked,

24:00Tari, what is bothering you?

24:02I see the worry in your eyes.

24:05Tari sighed deeply and said,

24:08Our friends, they keep asking about our wealth.

24:12They do not believe it is just the God's blessings.

24:16I cannot tell them the truth, but their questions never stop.

24:20His wife squeezed his hand and said,

24:23We must stay strong, Tari.

24:26We have each other, and that is what matters most.

24:30Let them talk.

24:32As long as we know the truth, we can face anything.

24:36Tari nodded, grateful for her support.

24:40He knew that the journey ahead would not be easy,

24:44but he was determined to protect his family and the secret of their wealth.

24:49The return of his friends had reminded him that true loyalty and love could not be bought,

24:55and he cherished the genuine bond he had with his family above all else.

25:01With his wife's reassurance, Tari resolved to face whatever challenges lay ahead,

25:07knowing that their strength as a family would guide them through even the darkest times.

25:13One quiet evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon,

25:17a messenger arrived at Tari's house with a message.

25:21The old man from the forest had summoned Tari.

25:25The message was brief and ominous, causing a shiver to run down Tari's spine.

25:31He knew that the old man's summons could only mean one thing, a demand.

25:37The next morning, Tari made his way to the edge of the forest where the old man lived.

25:43His heart pounded with each step, dread gnawing at his insides.

25:49When he reached the old man's hut, he found the old man waiting for him, his expression grave.

25:56Tari, the old man said, his voice as ancient as the trees around them.

26:02The time has come for you to fulfill your part of the bargain.

26:06The gods demand a sacrifice.

26:09Tari's heart sank.

26:11What kind of sacrifice, he asked, his voice trembling.

26:14The old man looked at Tari with piercing eyes.

26:18You must sacrifice your only daughter, Amina, to the gods.

26:23It is the price for the wealth you have received.

26:26Tari staggered back, his mind reeling with horror.

26:30No, not Amina.

26:32She is my only daughter.

26:34I cannot do this.

26:36The old man's face remained impassive.

26:39If you do not fulfill the gods' demand, you will lose everything, the wealth, your sanity,

26:47and your life.

26:48The gods will take back their blessings and you will be left with nothing.

26:53Tari felt as though the ground had shifted beneath him.

26:58The thought of losing Amina was unbearable.

27:02She was the light of his life, kind and gentle.

27:06Loved by everyone in the village, he could not fathom the idea of sacrificing her.

27:13Please, there must be another way, Tari pleaded, his voice breaking.

27:18I cannot harm my daughter.

27:20The old man shook his head.

27:22There is no other way.

27:24You have seven days to make your decision.

27:26If you do not sacrifice Amina, the gods will take her themselves and you will suffer the

27:33consequences.

27:34Tari returned home, his mind a whirlwind of fear and despair.

27:40He couldn't share this burden with his wife.

27:42The thought of telling her was too much to bear.

27:45Tari couldn't sleep.

27:47The old man's demand haunted him.

27:50Sacrifice Amina?

27:52How could he even think of it?

27:55Yet, the threat was clear.

27:58Refuse and he would go mad and his secret would be exposed.

28:02Tari paced the floor, his mind in chaos.

28:06I can't do this to my daughter, he whispered to himself.

28:11But the fear of losing everything, his wealth and his sanity gnawed at him.

28:17During the day, Tari watched Amina play, her laughter piercing his heart.

28:24She's my only daughter, he thought.

28:26But then the old man's voice echoed in his head.

28:30You have seven days or the gods will take her themselves.

28:35Tari tried to rationalize.

28:37I still have two sons, he thought.

28:41They can carry on the family name.

28:44He knew it was a terrible thought.

28:46But the fear of losing everything pushed him closer to making the unthinkable decision.

28:52His wife noticed his turmoil.

28:55Tari, what is wrong?

28:56She asked, but he couldn't tell her.

28:59He just shook his head, muttering, everything will be fine.

29:03The days passed, each one heavier than the last.

29:07On the fifth day, with his heart breaking,

29:10Tari finally decided to follow through with the ritual.

29:14The fear and the old man's threat left him feeling like he had no choice.

29:20He hoped somehow this terrible act would protect the rest of his family.

29:26But the decision tore at his soul, and he knew he would never be the same again.

29:33On the fifth night, Tari's heart was heavy with dread.

29:37He prepared the drink and the black oil, as instructed by the old man.

29:43His hands shook as he mixed the concoction.

29:47Knowing the terrible purpose it served, Tari found Amina playing in their yard.

29:52Amina, come here, he called softly.

29:55She ran to him with a smile, trusting her father completely.

30:00Drink this, my dear, and use this oil.

30:03It's very important.

30:05Amina hesitated, but took the drink.

30:08Okay, father, she said, trusting his words.

30:12She drank the potion and took the oil.

30:14As the potion took effect and Amina fell unconscious, Tari's heart broke.

30:20He carried her to the forest, each step feeling like a weight on his soul.

30:26Tari reached the clearing where the ritual was to take place.

30:30He laid Amina gently on the ground, her face peaceful and unaware of the horror about to

30:37unfold.

30:38He took a deep breath, his hands shaking as he prepared to complete the ritual by pounding

30:45her in the mortal that the old man had prepared.

30:48I'm so sorry, Amina, he whispered, tears streaming down his face.

30:54He knelt beside her, the weight of his decision crushing him.

30:59Just as he was about to proceed, a piercing scream shattered the silence.

31:05Tari, no, it was his wife, her voice filled with desperation.

31:11She had followed him, suspecting something was terribly wrong.

31:15The villagers, awakened by her scream, rushed to the forest, their torches lighting up the

31:22darkness.

31:23They found Tari kneeling over Amina and quickly restrained him.

31:28His wife ran to Amina, tears streaming down her face as she cradled their daughter.

31:35What have you done, Tari?

31:37She cried, her voice trembling with shock and grief.

31:41The villagers took Amina to the herbalist, hoping to undo whatever had been done to her.

31:48Tari was left behind, his heart shattered by the enormity of his actions and the realization

31:55of what he had almost done.

31:57That night, Tari was tied up and kept in his compound.

32:01The villagers guarded him, their faces filled with a mixture of anger and pity.

32:08Tari's wife wept throughout the night, unable to comprehend how her loving husband could

32:15be driven to such a terrible deed.

32:18As the first light of dawn broke, the villagers gathered outside Tari's home, murmuring in

32:24disbelief and anger.

32:26Amina had been taken to the herbalist, who was working tirelessly to reverse the effects

32:32of the ritual.

32:34Tari's wife sat beside their daughter, her tears falling silently, her heart breaking

32:40for what her husband had almost done.

32:43The villagers' anger grew as they learned more about Tari's actions.

32:48They couldn't understand how a man they had known all their lives could be driven to such

32:54a horrific deed.

32:56Their trust in him was shattered, replaced by a mix of outrage and sorrow.

33:02Tari must face justice, one of the elders declared.

33:05We must take him to the king.

33:08Bound and surrounded by the villagers, Tari was led to the king's palace.

33:13His head hung low, the weight of his guilt pressing heavily on his shoulders.

33:19The villagers whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with a mix of anger and

33:25pity for the man they once respected.

33:28In the grand hall of the palace, the king sat on his throne, his face stern and filled

33:34with disappointment.

33:36The villagers presented Tari before him, explaining the terrible events of the night.

33:42Tari, is this true?

33:44The king asked, his voice echoing in the hall.

33:48Tari, weakened by the ritual's backlash, fell to his knees and confessed.

33:54Yes, my king, it is true.

33:57I was manipulated by Chief Azuka.

34:00He promised me wealth if I performed a ritual, but I didn't know it would come to this.

34:06The king's eyes narrowed.

34:08Chief Azuka, explain yourself, Tari.

34:11With a trembling voice, Tari recounted the events leading up to the night of the sacrifice.

34:17He spoke of the old man in the forest, the ritual, and the immense pressure and fear

34:24that drove him to such desperation.

34:26The wealth came at a terrible price, Tari said, his voice breaking.

34:31Chief Azuka vanished after I accepted his offer.

34:34He knew what he was doing.

34:36He used me.

34:37The king listened, his expression growing darker with each word.

34:41He turned to his guards.

34:43Find Chief Azuka.

34:45He must answer for his actions.

34:48But when the guards searched for Chief Azuka, they found that he had already fled the village,

34:54leaving behind only the chaos and destruction he had orchestrated.

34:59Tari, you have committed a grave sin, the king said.

35:03But since you luckily did not take the life of your own daughter,

35:08thanks to your wife, I see the manipulation and fear that drove you.

35:13Your punishment will be severe, but your life will be spared.

35:17You will spend the rest of your days in prison,

35:20where your wife and children could come and see you often.

35:24But you'll work to atone for your actions.

35:27Tari bowed his head, accepting his fate.

35:31Thank you, my king, he whispered, tears streaming down his face.

35:37The villagers dispersed, their hearts heavy with the weight of what had transpired.

35:43Tari's wife returned to the herbalist's hut, where Amina was slowly recovering.

35:48She knew their family would never be the same,

35:51but she held on to hope that they could find a way to heal.

35:55As Tari was led away to his prison cell, he felt a deep sense of regret.

36:01He had lost everything he had ever worked for, all for the promise of easy riches.

36:08The love and happiness of his family, once his greatest treasure,

36:13had been shattered by his own choices.

36:16In his cell, Tari vowed to spend the rest of his life atoning for his sins,

36:21hoping that one day his family might find it in their hearts to forgive him.

36:27As Tari lay in his cell, the sounds of the village echoing faintly in the distance,

36:33he found a measure of solace.

36:35He had paid a high price for his wrong choices,

36:39but he hoped that his story would serve as a lesson to others.

36:43The love of family and the integrity of one's character

36:47were treasures far greater than any amount of gold.

36:51Tari's tale spread throughout the village,

36:54a reminder of the dangers of greed and the true meaning of wealth.

36:59Though he spent his remaining days in captivity,

37:02Tari's heart found some peace in knowing that his family had forgiven him

37:07and moved on to live good, honest lives.
