"Pish! What are you doing out in the brightness?"

"Aaaah!"

"Hahaha! Did I scare you?"

"Hanuman. Are you trying to kill me?"

"Hahaha! That's a good joke but you didn't answer the question, Pish."

"I am trying to take a nap if you must know."

"On an apple tree?"

"What I am supposed to do? I travel all the way to England. I am hoping against hope to finally get some peace and quiet but no. It's just not possible. I haven't had a good day's rest in 15 days."

"Don't tell me you have been trying to frighten the people out of the Manor."

"First, these people don't believe in Pishachas. To them we are mythology but they do believe in ghosts."

"What is the second?"

"Oh! That's even worse. They like to observe and make hypotheses and predictions all the while they stroll around in the garden. Can you believe it?"

"No. That is truly strange. They should be admiring and learning from Mother Nature not analyzing thoughts."

"You see that human there?"

"The one with that huge wig?"

"Yes."

"Under the apple tree?"

"Yes, him."

"What about him?"

"He likes to mumble to himself about forces and motion and then something about the moon."

"Chandra Deva? Is he in danger? I can fly to him and warn him - "

"Relax, Hanuman. It's not like that. The human is trying to find out something. Nothing about harming anyone. By the way, can you get your tail off my head?"

"Munch. These apples are fresh ... which gives me an idea. I think I can help you."

"How?"

"Keep quiet and watch."

==================================================

"What was that thud? There I hear it again ... Why should that apple always fall perpendicularly to the ground? Why should it not go sideways, or upwards? But continuously to the Earth's center? Surely, there is a reason, that the Earth pulls it. There must be a pulling power in matter and the pulling power in the matter of the Earth must be in the Earth's center. It must not be from any side of the Earth. That's why this apple falls perpendicularly towards the center of the Earth. If matter pulls matter; it must be in proportion to it's quantity. That's it! The apple pulls the earth, as well as the earth pulls the apple."

=================================================

"You missed his head, Hanuman."

"I wasn't aiming for his head!"

"Thank god. He's gone."

"He is happy. He has made his discovery. By the way Pish. You know you can't stay here."

"I know. Just let me rest for some time and I will leave immediately."

"Munch."
