A delegate of King Mayadunne of Sitawaka too met the Viceroy in India. All that he said about the situation in the country was quite in
contrast with what the
delegate from Kotte had said. The Viceroy was
puzzled listening to these contradictory reports.
It was not possible to

problem to the King of Portugal and get him to settle it.
It was a Sunday evening. Their parents had taken Puncha and Panchie to the beach. They were
enjoying building a sand
castle on the beach, when Panchie spotted a strange hole in the sand."Aiya.. Aiya.. Have you seen that hole..? Look!" Panchie shouted to her busy brother. She had also
spotted some movements and started running toward it.
