The wisdom of the lamb

The sheeps child Kalyan Lele had finished his summer vacation from school. Now every day he used to pester his mother, the sheep, to send him to his grandmothers house. Kalyans grandmothers house was across the forest. Thats why his mother did not agree to send him. One day when Kalyan sat down, his mother said, Son, you know, to go to your grandmothers house, you will have to cross a dense forest, which is not free from danger. Now the condition of the forest is such that every weak creature hides and tries to save its life, if something happens to you then... Kalyan did not agree and persisted in his stubbornness, Mother, I am studying in school now. I have understood how to protect myself from powerful animals I will use my intelligence and cross the forest comfortably. Finally, after hearing the words of the sheep, the sheep got courage and agreed. The next day, the lamb was happy and ready to go to his grandmothers house. He took blessings from his mother and set off on the path of the forest.

Before going into the forest, he covered himself well with branches and green leaves and made masks of mango leaves over his eyes. When he went a little far, a wolf came. The wolf started saying, Who are you... where have you gone The wolf started thinking about making the lamb his prey. The lamb understood the problem and spoke thoughtfully, I am a Kalyan Jiv. I am telling you that the forest is going to catch fire. Lions, leopards and wolves will all burn to ashes. Go quickly and see your children. As soon as the wolf heard the childrens name, he shot.

Now the lamb reached a denser forest. He was walking very slowly. Small animals were afraid of him but big animals surrounded him. Then suddenly a leopard came from the front and when he saw the lamb he thought that this was some new animal. He asked, Who are you and where are you going The leopard was also thinking of making the lamb a prey, but the lamb had already turned the tables and started telling him like a wolf, I am Kalyan Jiv. I am telling all the animals that the forest is about to catch fire. Save your children quickly. As soon as the children noticed, the leopard also ran fast and Kalyan followed. After a while, Kalyan faced the lion. Seeing the new type of animal, the lions fangs dripped. He roared, What kind of animal are you Today you will be my prey. At first the lamb was scared but then he remembered what his teacher had said about not losing courage and holding on to reason in times of crisis. He said, Greetings, king of the jungle Listen to me quickly and give the order to save the other animals of the forest too. The lion roared again, What is it Tell me quickly. The lamb said, My name is Kalyan Jiv. I have come to tell everyone that the forest is about to catch fire, save your children quickly. Hearing the news of the fire, the lion panicked and left the lamb and ran to save his children. Then the lamb crossed the forest comfortably and knocked on the door of the grandmothers house. When the grandmother started eating the soft leaves on it, the lamb said, Grandmother, I am Kalyan. I have finished my vacation from school. Now I will stay with you for ten days. The grandmother was initially surprised at his coming across the forest yesterday and then lovingly invited him in. For ten days, the lamb had a lot of fun with the grandmother and ate new dishes. Then he told the grandmother about his worries about returning home. The grandmother said, Dont worry. I will lock you in the drum. When you say, Go, my drum will start to beat, it will start to beat, and when you say, Stop, my drum will stop to beat, it will stop. In this way, you will be safe from the wild animals. Then the grandmother did the same and locked the lamb in the drum and rolled it. Kalyan was very wise, he thought that the wild animals were very dangerous. They would tear the drum apart. Then he thought of another trick. When the drum reached the forest, he was watching everything through the breathing hole. First, he saw the same lion and shouted, There is fire, there is fire. The lion clawed at the drum, but since he was already scared of the fire, he ran away in search of a safe place. Moving forward, the lamb also met a leopard and a wolf, but the drummer kept on beating and making noises like a fire had broken out. Hearing the name of fire, all the wild animals had run away to their respective places. Many small animals even tried to listen to the drummer with their ears, but no one dared to stop due to the terror of the fire. But what was the matter, Kalyans path was clear. Thus, Kalyan reached home safely. When Kalyan told his mother, who was sitting in panic, the mother began to be amazed by her sons wisdom.
