Grandma Stories.

Grandma loved telling stories to her grandchildren - Medha and Meenu. One day, Medha asked her grandma "Grandma! I wish I have special abilities!... You know a story about that ?' Grandma smiled at Medha. Grandma began her very own story.

                                                                                          ~

Once in king Amit's Kingdom, Two blind boys and a brahmin came running in the court. The brahmin cried' My lord, I have nothing to feed my young boys . They need to head a happy life. If you don't mine, can you give me 5 pieces of gold coins ? I will start my very own business. I will surely return your money next year.' The king took pity on the two  sons and the brahmin. So, he asked " Okay my brahmacharya, but what will I do if you did not return my money?" The brahmin replied' Sir if I did not return your money, I will give my sons to you now. They have special abilities.

 

The younger one can find the characteristic of a horse. The elder one can find the type of an ornaments' Kind Amit ordered his men to give the brahmin what he asked for. The brahmin went away giving his sons to the king. Next day, there was a horse seller. The king wanted a horse. But the king remembered the younger son .

 

He asked the younger son that what the horse would do. The son opened up with a start.' Your honor, This horse is a uncontrol - able horse .' King Amit wanted to test it out. So, he made a man sit on the horse. All of the sudden, the man was throwed up by the horse. After some months later, a jeweler came walking in the quay.

 

The king called for the elder son he humbly bowed his head and said "Your Majesty, this ornament is cursed. The man who touches it would immediately die. King  Amit asked the jeweler if it was true. He said 'Yes, it is true". The King appreciated the two for there clearness. A year passed, the Brahmin returned to the court, successfully. The king asked that the brahmin himself had anything special abilities. He said that he had. It was that he can find anyone's past. The King wanted to know his past. "Sir, thought you were the king, your father has been a robber.' The king burst out in anger. "How dare you tell that?' He screamed. He ordered his men to put the three to death.

Grandma questioned, "who is responsible for the three's death?' Medha answered, "It was the brahmin's. Because, he should not had predicted the past in that way". Even Maya was hearing Grandma's story!!!...
