The holy man got a digging tool, a spade and said
Holy Man: “We must wake early and follow the tracks while the footprints are still on the floor”
When the mouse heard their conversation, he was terrified that they will not only find his treasure but his fort also. So he took another track with his followers.
A cat pounced on them, killing half the mice. The mice who survived blamed Hiranyak, the mouse, for taking another trail and returned to their old fortress drenching the floor with blood.
The holy man saw the floor with drops of blood, followed the trail to the fortress.
