FOLKTALE
Tenali Raman & the Two Thieves One summer night, when Tenali Raman and his wife were about to sleep, he heard a rustling sound of leaves coming from outside. He looked around the room once to be sure. There was not even a slightest breeze blowing at the time, so he presumed that there were some thieves hiding in the bushes. He figured that they must be planning to rob his house in the night.
So, let’s hide all the jewellery and money that we have in the well. We must make sure to protect our gold!" A little later, Tenali Raman and his wife came out of the house carrying a big trunk, and dropped it into the well. Then they went back inside the house, and pretended to be asleep.
He thought of a plan and said to his wife, "My dear, I have heard that some notorious thieves The thieves waited for a while and then started are on the loose in our neighbourhood. drawing water from the well. They hoped to empty the well and get the treasure. The thieves kept drawing out water the entire night. Towards daybreak, as they were feeling very exhausted, they managed to pull out the trunk. When they opened it, they were extremely shocked and disappointed to see only some big stones in it. They understood that it was Tenali Raman’s plan to outsmart them. Just then, Tenali Raman came out of his house and said, “Thank you friends, for watering my plants. I must pay you for your labour.” Hearing this, the thieves fell at Tenali’s feet for forgiveness. They promised not to steal or rob anyone ever again. Tenali decided to let them go. Moral- Keeping cool and using your wit in dire situations can help you get out of them.
