The Juggler’s Wisdom
Should my monkey be given its share or should my diamonds be returned?

In ancient times, the king of a country was very cruel. He used to devour the property of the poor. The king's court was decorated as usual. Suddenly, a monkey ran into the court with his monkey and started shouting. The gatekeepers standing at the door tried to stop him, but he went straight inside. Seeing him forcefully entering, the king asked the gatekeepers to bring him in. The king asked him who are you and what do you want? He said.
I am the owner of your brother. What do you mean? The king said angrily, raising his eyebrows... The monkey said with full confidence. I am the owner of this monkey and this monkey is your brother and you have an equal share in your kingdom and wealth.
He said that there was a commotion in the entire court and the king suddenly got angry and stood up. What are you talking nonsense? This monkey and my brother!
Madari said yes! And as the owner of the monkey, I will take you to the judge's court.
You want to usurp my monkey's share, that's why you refuse to consider him a brother. There was a lot of gossip in the entire court, everyone started looking at the king with suspicion.
The king said in a thunderous voice! Who is this impudent person? He should be thrown out of the court. Madari acted very wisely and addressed the people and said. Look, people! This is your king! The justice of whom you people are singing.
He is making such a fuss to digest my monkey's share. It was to be heard that a courtier got up and said, "May the king be safe! May I ask for your life. If you are truthful, what have you to fear? You present your case before the judge and the milk will turn into water. At the same time, addressing Madari, he said, "If you are the king's brother, what proof do you have of it? I will give this proof in the judge's court."
Madari replied. The entire court started saying yes to this man. The pressure on the king increased and he had to obey him.
A court is held. Madari starts telling his Ram story. Sir, I was a farmer. I used to cultivate my small land. One day while ploughing, I found a bag from my land. When I opened it, a bright light suddenly came out of it.
It had very shiny diamonds in it, whose light spread far and wide. I immediately brought those diamonds home and hid them in my house, but their light was such that every new morning their light doubled. I wanted no one to know about these diamonds, but their light kept increasing day by day. Finally, the news of the bright light emanating from my house spread throughout the village and the word reached the king.
The king called me to the court and expressed his desire to see those diamonds. When I showed those diamonds to the king, the king took the diamonds into his possession. I went to the king's court many times to get those diamonds, but I was always turned away saying that the king and the king's family have the right to these diamonds. So what do you want now? The judge asked Madari.
My monkey should be given a share of it or my diamonds should be returned. Madari replied. Now everyone knew that the monkey actually had no connection with the king. Madari had played this trick in search of justice. So after hearing all these things, the judge decided in favor of the monkey that either the king should give Madari's diamonds or pay the equivalent amount. Now the king had to pay four to four Madari a lot of money. Madari received the money and left with his monkey. The entire court began to rejoice at Madari's wisdom.
