In the valley of wild fruits

Along the stretch of hills, gigantic boulders top the peak of one hill. It’s the famous, or infamous, Nandi Rock — sometimes called Monkey Stone.

In the days of old, anyone accused of wrongdoing was taken atop the boulders and was only declared innocent if they survived the tumble to the ground — something like 500 feet.

I can’t imagine anyone surviving the suicidal leap.
