He was appointed as the Court Jester by the King of Vijayanagara, in India.Tenali Raman was very clever and known for his wit. He was always successful in pleasing the king.


Children, now I invite you to listen to an amusing story about Tenali Raman.


Tenali Raman spent much of his time pleasing the king. Because of this, every day he reached home late in the evening. His wife even reminded him about watering the fields. Every time he had thought that he would reach home early next day to water the fields, but invariably he came home late every day.

One day, when he reached home in the night, he saw the shadows of two persons moving outside the house. He soon guessed they were thieves.

His guess was right. They had come to rob him in the night and were waiting for the right opportunity and the right time. They were hiding near the wall without making any noise so that when everyone slept in the night they could enter the house quietly and take away the cash and gold .


Now you visualise the situation and guess what our hero Tenali Raman would have done in this situation. See you tomorrow for the continuation of the story. Till then go through the catalogue for stories like Tinky's Best Gift.
