Once upon a time, there lived a king who was very proud of his wealth. His teacher wanted to remove his pride. So, he called three clever students. Aman, Raghu, and Rahul. He told them to go to the King’s town and fool his people.

Aman went to the Pan seller and asked the cost of the Pan Leaves. Aman gave him 10` which he told was the cost of 200 leaves and took 50 of them and told him my will come to you and take the rest of the leaves from you. He went to the shopkeeper and asked him how much for a scarf. He told 200` each. Aman gave him 50` and told him to collect the rest of them from the Pan seller. The shopkeeper went to the pan seller. The Pan seller gave him 150 leaves.


They complained to the king that they have been fooled. Raghu went to a lock seller. The lock seller told him someone could lock their neck in this lock. Raghu told if he could show him that. The lock seller locked his neck and asked him to open it. Raghu did not open it and left him alone. The lock seller complained this to the king. Now, the king told his soldier to bring this prankster in front of him. When the king went out he saw an apple seller sitting in a place where there was no one. When the king asked him why? He replied the pranksters will arrive in some time and he will catch them.


The king was surprised! He asked him then what I should do there is no rock or stone to hide. He showed him a packet and told the king to hide in it. The king agreed. He was not a fruit seller but Rahul. He sealed the packet and tied it with a rope. After many hours, the soldiers found him crying for help.
