While the court murmured, Tenali wove the materials together into a single makeshift string. He tightened it carefully, hummed the same lullaby to tune the veena, and plucked a test note. The sound was different — earthier, warm — but true. The musician performed; the king’s frown eased into delight. After the recital, Tenali explained: “A single perfect string is fine, but when it breaks, a clever blend of small, honest parts can make music again.”
