The Lost Child

There was a boy who is living with his parents in a great city, which is a part of emperor Krishna Murthy. His parents did not form a well developed family. He was very poor and his mother and father were working and earning their livelihood in the palace of emperor Krishna Murthy. Emperor Krishna Murthy was a nice person and he never makes a difference between rich and poor. Emperor Krishna Murthy was very possessive, about the education of the next generation. So the Emperor made many gurukuls for their children. He made 4 to 5 gurukuls in one village. As the boy’s parents were working in his palace so Emperor Krishna Murthy loved that boy very much. Boy’s parents can’t send their child to the gurukul because they were not having money and can’t pay the fees. Boys were very eager to study. He was very disappointed. Emperor Krishna Murthy announced in his 6 villages about the gurukuls and said every child will take part in these gurukuls and take part in it so that no one will be uneducated. At that night boy was just thinking about gurukuls and he was acting to sleep so that his parents would not scold him. His parents were sleeping and he just walked out of the door. It was a time of midnight there was full of darkness all around. He was just thinking and walking. He was not aware, where he was going, where the way takes him he was walking. Although the sun starts rising in the sky and he was walking. He never stopped in his way and had a thought in his mind, why he can’t study like others?

The morning sun was on the head and parents were awake and pulled off the blanket and they found the child was lost, they started searching. But they didn’t find the boy. Unfortunately, someone told to the Emperor. Emperor gave an order to find the lost child. The child was found after two days miles away from the village. Parents became very weak because of crying and not having a meal. The child was also hungry. Emperor asked the child where he was gone and why? The boy hesitated but finally, he told him. Emperor said that you are my boy, my child. You will get a chance to study in gurukul without any hesitation and said that he will pay the fees. Parents were so pleased and they thanked the Emperor. From that day Emperor Krishna Murthy spends two hours with that child everychild.
