In a small village, there lived a small girl who was 6 years old whose name was Priya. She was an orphan. Priya lived all by herself.
One hot evening, all the village girls gathered under the big banyan tree. They started chattering about Diwali, which was coming the next week. One boasted' You know? My father will buy me some Colorful dress and some crackers! I will enjoy Diwali'.
Another said' My family will go to the next town for Diwali Purchase! I will buy lots and lots of things like Dresses, Ornaments, Crackers, and much more! I am so exited!'
But Priya would just have to listen to them and she had none to buy her new dress. So she mourned among herself.' I have none to buy me dresses and crackers! I would cry any moment ðŸ˜'
The others took pity on her and sighed at Priya.
A trickster who was coming that way, overheard their conversation and decided to trick Priya and kidnap her! But, will clever Priya ever fall into His trap?!
The Trickster disguised himself like an Old man and claimed to be Priya's Uncle. He went to Priya and said' You remember me? I am your Old Uncle! Come let's go home. I have lots and lots of gifts for Diwali. It's all for you.'
Little Priya didn't know what to do. So she quietly walked away with the cunning man, without knowing that he was a trickster! On the way, the man removed his disguise and told her that he was a trickster. Now Priya had to be very careful.
After some time, they reached a small house. There was an old lady who was blind. She was the trickster's old mom.
The Trickster locked Priya into a small room. Then, he told his mother' Mom, please do not leave the little girl in that room to escape.' Saying so, He went out to chat.
Next moment, Priya closed the door and quietly left the house. The trickster saw her and began chasing. She came to an inn and put up a moustache and changed her clothes. She giggled for herself after seeing her clothes.
Now, she looked like a boy. When finally the cunning man came to the inn, he could not find out where Priya is! It became night time. Priya invited the trickster to her room in the inn. She told him.' You are so tired. There is a cot in that room. Go and rest in there.'
Greedily, The trickster jumped up into the cot and felt asleep. Next, Priya poured a bottle full of oil near the bed. So when he step on it, he will slip and fall down.
Then, Priya took a big stone and hit the trickster in his head. It began to bleed. He got up roaring. When he stepped onto the oily floor, he slipped and hit his head again and crashed into the bench. He was unconscious right now. So, Priya put him in a big cart and covered it with gifts and soft silks.
Priya gave them to some men on the road telling' Please wait here. I will drink some water and come back.' Hurriedly, She went inside. The men opened the cart to see fine silks and gifts! They did not think twice. They all ran away with the cart, thinking that there were more treasure inside!
Now, Priya was happy! Her plan has worked accordingly! She whistled a happy tune to herself and walked down the road! After that, she lived happily by herself and there was no news of the Trickster again!
THANKYOU!
