The Industrious Woman

Once upon a time in a big city, there lived a villager called Harsh. He was married to a villager called Rita. Rita was industrious woman who worked in rich people’s house. She would collect things and put them in a bag. She knew how to use different things.

One day, the prince came to a visit and announced in a bazaar, “I would clean my room but I want to see you clean your house too. I will see you working and you will take help of no one. If I see anyone taking help, that person will go to prison.” With that, he went back to his palace.

The next day, the whole city was been cleaned and decorated place. The prince was proud of his kingdom as it was maintained very well. Therefore, he came for a visit sooner than expected. He started with Harsh’s house. He was in awe of its majesty so the prince asked, “Where is your wife?” Harsh told that a rich man is making my wife a total servant and abusing her at every step.

The prince left to see other houses. The rich man came to greet the prince at his doorstep. He told him “My lord, we are still cleaning.” However, the prince protested so he agreed. When he saw Rita, the prince asked her “Miss, are you are owner of this house?” The answer was just as the prince expected so he turned to his guards, arrested the rich man’s family, and gave Rita 200 gold coins for being kind to all people.

Moral: Laziness is a bad deed.
