Once there was a king in a little kingdom. He was a miser
though he was wealthy. One day a son was born to him and he decided to arrange
a big feast to celebrate the occasion. He invited the priests all over the
country to the feast, because it was conventional to feed poor priests on such
an auspicious day.
On the day of the feast, a large number of poor priests came
to the palace. They assembled in a big hall. They were sat in several rows. The
king’s servants placed a silver plate in front of each guest. They brought
several buckets full of laddus for them. The priests were happy at the sight of
the sweets. They told themselves that they wo8ld eat about fifteen laddus each
at one sitting. The servants laced two laddus in each plate. Then the king came
forward and said.
Moral Stories for Kids #The Wise Guests#
“Dear priests, I am happy to welcome you all here. I have
plenty of sweets for you. You can eat as many as you like. More and more laddus
will be served as soon as you finish those on your plate. In addition you will
be getting two rupees with each laddu you eat. But one condition: you should
not bend your hand at the elbow while you eat nor should you bite the sweets
directly from the plate. You can start, if you accept the condition.”
The guests looked at one another in surprise . They wondered
whether they could eat laddus without bending the hands at the elbows. They
were sure that the king meant to tease them. The sight of the laddus was very
tempting. Suddenly an elderly priest who was sitting at the head of a row
whispered something into the ears of his neighbor. The neighbor was happy at
what the elderly priest told him. Thus the message passed round quickly. The king
looked at the guests confused. The elderly priest told the king that they were
ready to accept the condition. The king asked them to start.
Immediately, the elderly priest took a laddu and put it in
his neighbor’s mouth without bending his hand. The neighbor took a laddu from
his plate and put it in his neighbour’s mouth on his left. The third man took
the laddu put it in the fourth man’s mouth. Soon the guests finished the laddus
in their plate. The servants put more and more laddus which they finished in
the same way. They were also getting two rupees with each laddu which the king
had promised.
The king was shocked to look at the way the priests were finishing
the laddus. He was also worried about the money he was paying them with laddus.
The guests, on the other hand, were eating more and more laddus and earning
more and more money.
After sometimes the king shouted, “Stop, stop. I am sorry I wanted
to cheat you, but I have been, taught a lesson now. Please stop eating.”
The priests went back happily with many laddus in their
bellies and a lot of coins in their purses.
