(I)

Once it was heard that there had occurred a railway accident at Cuttack station.
But, later it came to be known that the news was not at all true.
Sometimes it so happens  that people falsely spread news.
I know that there is very little truth in whatever the common people say.
Thus, my principle is that I do not simply trust anything at once.
It's strange that sometimes even the educated people spread rumour.
So, it's not proper to simply trust whatever one tells.
Hence, many troubles have occurred in the past, still there has been no end to the rumours.

So, who can say when the sun will cease to exist? / So, who can say when there will be an end to the existence of the sun? / So, who can say when the sun will perish?
