The Gander Eater
In this story, Satyabrata discovers that his friends all eat meat while he only is served vegetables at home, because his mom is a poor widow. He desires meat, so he takes matters into his own hands and kills a Gander. Satyabrata and his mom eat the Gander together but the next morning, people of the king come looking for the missing bird and find them and the fate of the bird. They imprison Satyabrata and his mother, going insane, makes a prayer to the goddess Subachani. She asks Subachani to free her son from prison and to make him rich. The goddess goes to the king and orders him to marry his daughter to Satyabrata and to release him from prison. Satyabrata marries the king's daughter, and is now the heir of the kingdom.
