Grand-ma had a diamond nose ring that was given to her by her mother-in-law at the time of her marriage. It was a very powerful one and this came to light when her grandson wanted it to be presented to his girl-friend. One day, this grandson brought his girl-friend and introduced her to his grand-mother. Immediately this girl's attention was on the sparkling diamond nose-ring. Next time when the two met this girl expressed her desire to wear that nose-ring, at least once. Accordingly, this boy went to his grand-mother, asked for the nose-ring. Finally, it was agreed that this nose-ring should be given to her only after going round three times round the girl holding the ring in his hand. The girl was asked to sit and close the eyes and the boy went round her for the first round. Lo! The face of the girl became pale and lost all its charm like the fair and lovely cream washed out. Second round, the girl's body lost all its shape and, by the third round there was barely any skeleton left of her! The boy got frightened and ran away with the nose-ring and returned it to his grand-mother. The grand-mother was happy to see that her grandson lost all his interest in this girl-friend and started his studies in right earnest.
