Who Earns Money Easily?

One day, Tenali Raman and The king were strolling in a garden. The king always used to ask questions to tenali and hear his answer which was full of intelligence. So, the king asked Tenali, " Who earns money easily ? Priest or a business mam? " Tenali answered, " I think the priest earns money easily by chanting some mantras but the business man works hard for earing money." Tenali felt a bit insulted because his forefathers were priests. " The priests and very but business man have their tricks." Said Tenali. The king said him to prove his statement.

The next day Tenali called a priest to the palace and took him to room over some discussion. He told the king to sit in the adjacent chamber So, that the king can hear whatever discussion is going inside the room with the priest. Tenali asked the priest, " Can you please give your knot of hair as the king wants it for some kind of reason?" "No, how can I give that! That knot of hair represents me that I'm a priest." Said the Priest. Tenali said priest that "I will give you as many as you want for the hair of knot." " I want 2 gold coins. So, that I can go to my village and live there till my Knot of hair grows to its perfect size." Tenali agreed and called the barber. And gave the barber 2 gold coins.

After that, Tenali called the business man. "Can I have your knot of hair? Because the king needs for some kind of reason. I will also pay for that." Ok, I can give you but for that I will need 200 gold coins." Replied the Business man. Tenali agreed on his statement. 200 gold coins was given to the business man and the barber was called. After the barber cut the hair of knot. The business man grabbed the hair of knot and told Tenali that "I will give the king by myself." Speaking this he left the palace.

Tenali's statement was prooven. The king rewarded Tenali for proving his statement.
