The twin heroes and their sister grow up quickly. Now sixteen, the brothers go out daily to seek adventure. Ponnachi and their sister Tangal stay behind.
It is only natural that Ponnachi becomes a very dear pet for the palace princess. Ponnachi and Princess Tangal are very loyal to each other.
But soon Ponnachi senses that something is wrong. She is tense and alert. She starts to growl, and then to bark.
A hunter has jumped out from the bushes and is trying to talk to the maid. Ponnachi knows she is frightened. The little dog senses trouble.
The young girl starts to shout and kick her feet. In a flash, Ponnachi jumps towards the hunter’s leg.
She bites the flesh hard with her poison teeth. Her sharp fangs sink in until they touch the hunter’s leg bone.
But the hunter does not give in. He cries in pain while giving Ponnachi a huge kick. She flies through the air.
As soon as Ponnachi's legs hit the ground she starts running back towards the palace. She must alert her mistress to what has just happened!
Ponnachi finds her mistress sitting in her swing and dreaming, as usual. Tangal awakes at the little dog’s bark. She immediately asks what is wrong.
As soon as Tangal hears the news about her maid she is horrified. She tries to think of what she can do to help.
