How can you say that it was the season of Hilsa-fish?
All the people including the king’s courtiers talked about the Hilsa-fish only, the whole time. Thus, we can say that it was the season of Hilsa-fish.

The king was happy about it and congratulated Gopal for winning the challenge.
Gopal’s wife thought that her husband had gone mad.
The fishmongers lured the customers by saying that the price of the Hilsa-fish had come down that day.
Everyone was interested in the comical way Gopal had dressed himself. Some called him a madman, others termed him as mystical. No one seemed to be interested in talking about the Hilsa-fish which he bought. This was exactly what Gopal wanted.
Gopal dressed in a comical way. He reached the court and started dancing and singing loudly. The chaotic sound reached the king’s ears; he became inquisitive and ordered the guards to let him inside the palace.
Gopal did three things before he went to buy his Hilsa-fish, namely: Gopal half shaved his face. Gopal smeared ash on his body. He dressed himself in ragged clothes and looked like a madman.
The king asked Gopal to buy a Hilsa-fish, to bring it to the palace without anyone asking about it, not even a word.
The king got fed up with the discussion which went on excessively in the court; so he did not want to talk about the Hilsa-fish.
