The village cheif puts a bann for anyone to go near the basket untill the officials from the town checks the situation. As the day began like a normal day, life will never be the same again. Next day the a group of investigators arrives at the village and gets taken to the location of the basket. After hearing from the villagers the men decide to look in side the basket with a mirror using it like a reflection. All five men and the villagers gets the biggest mirror they can and make it stand right next to the basket and use another to reflect the image to the people watching. Unaware of their doing they proceed. Everyone now will be able to watch whats in the basket so all the villagers have their eyes fixed on the mirror. Only some women close their eyes but others are too curious not to. Slowly they use a long stick tied to the reflecting mirror and start to angle it for the reflection and as soon as it shows the inner of the basket the person who is holding the angling mirror lets go the stick and starts walking towards the pass followed by the investigators and the hunderds of villagers who also saw the reflection. The women who closed their eyes see that everyone is going to the mountain pass they try to stop their loved ones but that glare in their eyes and the speechless stride scares them. they shout , scream and wail but they keep on walking. These women return to the village and decide that they should take this matter to the town officials them selves. Now that the village is empty they hurry down through the trail towards the town. Suddenly They hear an unusual sound like a bleating trumpet followed by a shrill whistle. Then the sky down the horizon lighten up. Thats the mountain pass where everyone went. Filled with fear the women wallk faster and faster untill they hit the main trail to the town market.

      They have been walking all night crying and comforting each other. They dont know what to make of this mysterous event that has now taken so much away from them. As the dawn arrives with its now meaning less beauty , the women dont stop. Soon they reach the market place and they cry and shout for help. People in the town has just woken up and following their everyday morning routine. They havent a clue what these women has been through. Some people try to calm them but the women are to loud and dont stop wailing and screaming. They all speak at once so it becomes very hard to follow their words. They keep mentioning that their loved ones are gone and they need help. Soon  a crowd of curious bystanders gather around the ladies and one of them ask them where they come from. After repeating the question manytimes one of the ladies answer their location of the village and name too. the words spread and and soon there is a big crowd. Sensing the early morning disturbance the nearby Police station discharges a group of police men to the scene and the ladies are brought to the police station. The police incharge politely approaches the distressed women and after a while of comforting them he finds out their reason of trauma.......
