"Let the prisoner be brought in again," the rajah ordered, when informed of this.
"Dog," he said, "you have betrayed yourself.

Had you been innocent, you could not have known in which of the dishes the poison had been placed.

You have eaten of all but one.

If that one contains poison, you are guilty." Then, turning to an attendant, he ordered him to take a portion of the untouched food, and to throw it to a dog.

Pending the experiment, the prisoner was removed.
