The kingdom of vijaynagar had not been enjoying good relations with its neighbouring state, Mahanagar, for a very long time. Jealous opponents of Rama, the king?s favourite minister, found the perfect opportunity to damage his reputation. So they went about poisoning the king?s mind against him. One day, when the king was in his chamber pondering over the affairs of the state, one of his courtiers came in and said, ??Your Majesty, have you heard the latest??? The king was surprised and exclaimed, ??No, I have not! What?s going on??? In his gravest voice, the courtier answered, ??Your Majesty, I will tell you only after you promise not to harm me.?? ??Don?t be silly,?? laughed the king, ??Say whatever you want to; you need not be afraid of me. ??Your Majesty, Rama is on the payroll of the king of Mahanagar. He has been spying on us for them.?? ??What are you talking about ??? asked the king angrily.?? This has been going on for a long time. But you would not believe a word against Rama. He has cast such a spell on you that you refuse to even think that he might betray you.?? ??Rama is faithful to the kingdom. He cannot do this. You have been misinformed, ?? the king replied with confidence. But the courtier convinced the king to regard the statement with some gravity and do not dismiss it outright. ??Your majesty, I am fully confident about the truth of my information. Do you think I would have spoken to you without verifying the information??? said the courtier. The king promised to get the matter investigated and said that if Rama was found guilty, he would be punished. The king sent for Rama the following day and without wasting time on preliminaries, he asked him whether he was in league with Mahanagar. The question shocked Rama so much that he could not say anything. ??Your silence says that you accept the charge!?? Deeply hurt that the king could doubt his loyalty, Rama refused to answer such a preposterous charge. This angered the king even more. He ordered Rama to leave his kingdom.
Rama did not say a single word in his defence and went away with his head bowed. When his enemies heard that Rama had been expelled from the kingdom their joy knew no bounds. Meanwhile, Rama went to Mahanagar and met the king there. He pleased the king with his wit. The king asked Rama who he was and when he revealed his name, the king welcomed him warmly. He had heard much about Rama?s sagacity. But the king was surprised to see Rama in his court. ??Your king consider me his enemy. So what are you doing here??? Rama replied, ?? Your Majesty, you are a learned man. You have great strength. You are a good administrator and wish your people well. Our king also possess all these virtues. He regards you as a friend and he has sent me to resolve the existing misunderstanding between us. ??The king was surprised, ??Your king considers me a friend? But our spies warned us that your king was thinking of attacking us,?? said the king. Rama said, ??Our spies have fed our king the same pack of lies. That is why he has sent me to you. Has war ever benefitted anybody??? The king was impressed by this statement. He said, ??I do not want war, either. But how can I believe that your king really wants peace??? Rama suggested that the king send a messenger with gifts and a message of peace to Vijaynagar. And if the king accepts the gifts, it would mean that he, too, wants to be friends. But if he returns the gifts, then obviously, he wants war. The king had one doubt. ??Won?t it be an insult to me if I send the message first??? Rama had a ready answer. ??I have come with the message of peace and so it is us who have made the first move. ??The king liked the sound of that and sent his special messenger to Vijaynagar the next day. Meanwhile, the king of Vijaynagar had come to know that Rama was innocent and that the courtiers had conspired against him. As soon as the messenger from Mahanagar reached him with the gifts, he was delighted. He was full of praise for Rama?s wisdom and sent his own minister with gifts to Mahanagar, with a request that the king send Rama back. When Rama returned to Vijaynagar, the King warmly welcomed him. He also promised to punish the clique of courtiers who had poisoned his mind against his favourite minister.

The men of Suvarnanagari were very lazy. They only liked to gossip and tell each other tall tales. As soon as the sun rose, the men would tuck into hearty breakfast and then gather in groups for their daily session of gossiping. Then they would spend the rest of the day telling each other impossible stories. They came back only at lunch and dinner time. The farmlands of Suvarnanagari were very fertile. If the men had spent even a little time at fields, they would have reaped wonderful crops. But as they did nothing, all the responsibilities ended up on shoulders of the woman. They had to work hard the whole day. They cooked, cleaned, sent the children to school, worked in the fields, took the crops to the market - in short they did everything. One day the tired woman gathered and decided that the men needed to be taught a lesson. One of them suggested that they should write to the king about their problem, as he was known to be just and a kind person. So the letter was written and sent to the king. The women went back to their daily routines, hoping that the king would soon take some action. Many days passed, nothing changed, no one came, and the poor women began to lose hope. ?After all why would the king of such a vast empire be concerned about the plight of the women of such a tiny village?? they thought. A month passed by and it was a full moon night. The men ate their dinners and because it was so beautiful and well lit outside, they gathered again to chat and boast. That night they were trying to prove to one another that they were capable of performing the most impossible tasks. Soon a tall and handsome stranger joined them. Seeing his noble features and intelligent eyes, each one wanted to prove himself better than the others and impress to him. One said, ??I knew the map of this kingdom even before I was born. I ran to meet the king as soon as I was born, my mother had such trouble bringing me back home !?? Everyone was impressed by this story. Soon another man said, ??So what is so great about that ? When I was a just a day old, I could ride a horse. I sat on a big horse and rode all the way to the king?s palace. He received me with lot of love and we had the most delicious meal together.?? This was even more impressive, so everyone applauded. Now the third man said, ??Huh! That is nothing. I sat on an elephant when I was a week old and had lunch with the king in his palace.??Before the admiring murmurs could die down, the fourth man said, ??When I was a month old, I flew like a bird and landed in the king?s garden. The king picked me up and even let me sit on his throne with him,?? While everyone was in awe of these stories, the stranger spoke up, ?? Do all four of you know the king very well??? ??Of course we do! ?? they replied together. ??Our king knows and love us. In fact, he is proud to have supernatural beings like us in his kingdom,?? one of them added. The stranger looked thoughtful. ??That makes my task so much easier. You see, I work in the king?s court. Some days ago the king had summoned four supermen to the city in order to repair a large hole in the city wall. As you know, we use only the largest and toughest stones for building these walls, and they could be lifted and put in place only by these supermen. The four supermen asked to be paid in gold bars and the king complied.But the night they received their fee, they disappeared from the palace. I have been wandering around ever since looking for them. The king has ordered me to find the four men and bring them back to the capital to finish the work. They will also have to return the gold bars they ran away with. It looks like the search has finally ended. I will take the four of you to the king along with the gold bars. The king will be very pleased with me and will surely reward me,?? said the stranger. By the time the stranger finished his story, the four men realised that their lies had landed them into a huge trouble. Their faces turned ashamed and they dived at the stranger?s feet. ??Those were all lies. We are all just a bunch of lazy men. But if you forgive us and forget our stories, we promise to do some honest work and stop telling such lies,?? they wailed. The stranger smiled and said, ??Alright, I will tell the king there are no supermen in this village, just honest and hardworking men and women.?? That night the stranger left the village. The women were sure that it was none other than the king himself.
