He was amazed to see it, and decided to count its stories. As he was doing so a townsman saw him and tried to befool him.
So he approached Banta and asked, "What are you doing?"
When he was told the answer, the townsman said that one had to pay two rupees for every storey counted.
"How many have you counted?"
Banta said ten and gave the man twenty rupees.
Walking away Banta was very happy to think how he has befooled the other man for he had counted twenty.
