Explain how no one seemed to be interested in talking about the hilsa-fish which Gopal had bought.

Gopal played a very clever trick to win the challenge given to him by the King. He shaved his half face, smeared it with ash and worn torn dirty clothes so that no one's attention would get diverted toward fish. Everybody would talk about his mad man`s look and he would bought the fish to court without even a single word being talked about it through out the way.
