Lord Ganesha and Kuber

Kuber, the god of wealth, was proud because of his riches. One day, he went to Kailash to invite Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati to come to his place and have dinner. But in reality he just wanted to show off his riches to them. 

However, Lord Shiva had other engagements, so he asked Kuber to take Ganesha with him as he was fond of eating. But he asked hesitatingly if Kuber would be able to feed him properly. Kuber, thinking how much could a kid actually eat, agreed to take Ganesha with him.

Now came Kuber's real test!

Ganesha finished every food item in the house and asked for more! When Kuber requested that he was not left with any more food, Ganesha threatened to eat his host! 

Being thus panicked, Kuber rushed to Kailash and begged Lord Shiva and Mata Parvati to tell him a way to satiate Ganesha's hunger!

Mata Parvati smiled and gave Ganesha a tulsi-leave that calmed him down and Kuber also could realize his mistake!
