People were happy in Rajgrah listening that acrobats are coming after one year.They welcomed all acrobats.It was fully crowded.King ordered to start the programme.One slim and trim girl started doing " Malkhambh"{A very old powerful Acrobatic activity in India}King's Tresurer's son Ugrsen got attracted towards the girl.He came home after the show and laid down on the bed sadly.He told his parents that he will marry that girl,otherwise he will not eat food or drink water""What are you talking ? Both of you belong to different life styles."But Ugrsen was determined and so his father sent one of his friends with lot of gold to that girl's father"That girl's father got angry,he said " You are asking me to sell my daughter ?'Then he said "We are Gypsy we move this town to that town to perform our art and earn,if that boy is ready to accept this lifestyle then we are ready,and he can marry my daughter"When Ugrsen's father came to know about this they asked Ugrsen" Are you ready to do this ? Would you go ? Would you leave us ? The boy said ," That girl is everything for me " So the marriage took place and Ugrsen was now a part of that Gypsy group.He was not an acrobat so he started helping in other works.He was satisfied.After one year,Ugrsen's wife gave birth to a child.Now,after doing her performance she started spending all the remaining time to her child" She used to call her son "woodcutter's son" when he was bringing firewood,or Water carrier's son when Ugrsen was bringing water,and so on ,according to his works"Ugrsen did not like this and said"I will leave"She said "As you wish"Ugrsen thought,"She is proud because she is an acrobat"So he went to his father-in -law and said,"I want to be an Acrobat"He learnt the skill,the other members of the group used to make fun of him,"His wife does in twice efforts acro balance  and he does in fourteen efforts." One day again The Acrobats reached to Rajgrah town,the crowd again gathered there to welcome them.When Ugrsen started doing Acro balance he heard People were shouting,"Look ! Lord Buddha is there"He saw people ran to Lord Buddha and were paying regards"He also went there,and said," Please take me under your shelter" He then became Lord Buddha's Pupil.
