The Quarrel For Money
The Quarrel For Money
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Agra, lived a rich oil merchant. He was honest and very kind. He never cheated anybody.
Besides him, he lived a rich merchant. He was very cruel and dishonest. He always cheated everybody. One day, an oil merchant wanted to go to the city to sell oil. But he was scared that someone would steal his money. So he went to the rice merchant and asked him to keep his money safely until he returns. He trusted the rice merchant. The rice merchant happily took the money.
When the oil merchant returned from the city, he went to the rice merchant and asked for his money. The rice merchant refused to give the money and said that it was his hard-earned money. The quarrel began between the two.
Then they decided to take this matter to Birbal and asked him to solve the situation. Birbal asked one of his guards to bring a tub of water. Then he put the coins into it. He saw a layer of oil had formed on the water. Then Birbal came to know that the rice merchant was telling lies and he also asked his guards to put the rice merchant in the jail. The oil merchant thanked Birbal by giving him the kingdom's best oil.
MORAL- Truth always wins.
