Reception

The Indian Express wrote, "Situations in the story are so marshalled as to preserve the concept of the poetic justice and such it is bound to fare well as an entertainer."[5]

gollark: It'd be pointless.
gollark: The 16-24 eggs a day thing is that you can gather eggs from the cave, then wait five hours, then trade/gift/dump then, then do it again maybe twice more.
gollark: None!
gollark: Well, it could be done, at 16-24 eggs a day.
gollark: Er, she, I mean.
