	There was once a merchant who employed many carpenters and masons to build a temple in his garden.	करन
	Regularly, they would start work in the morning, and take a break for the mid-day meals, and return to resume work till evening.	करन
	One day, a group of monkeys arrived at the site of the building and watched the workers leaving for their mid-day meals.	करन
	One of the carpenters was sawing a huge log of wood.	करन
	Since it was only half-done he placed a wedge in between to prevent the log from closing up.	करन
	He then went off along with the other workers for his meal.	करन
	When all the workers were gone, the monkeys came down from the trees and started jumping around the site, and playing with the instruments.	करन
	There was one monkey, who got curious about the wedge placed between the log.	करन
	He sat down on the log, and having placed himself in between the half-split log, caught hold of the wedge and started pulling at it.	करन
	All of a sudden, the wedge came out.	करन
	As a result, the half-split log closed in and the monkey got caught in the gap of the log.	करन
	As was his destiny, he was severely wounded.	करन
	The wise indeed say, One, who interferes in other's work, surely comes to grief.	करन
	One day, a jackal called Gomaya was very hungry, and was wandering about in search of food.	करन
	After some time, he wandered out of the jungle he lived in, and reached a deserted battlefield.	करन
	In this deserted battlefield, a battle was fought recently.	करन
	The fighting armies had left behind a drum, which was lying near a tree.	करन
	As strong winds blew, the branches of the tree got rubbed against the drum.	करन
	This made a strange noise.	करन
	When the jackal heard this sound, he got very frightened and thought of running away.	करन
	If I cannot flee from here before I am seen by the person making all this noise, I will be in trouble.	करन
	As he was about to run away, he had a second thought.	करन
	It is unwise to run away from something without knowing.	करन
	Instead, I must be careful in finding out the source of this noise.	करन
	He took the courage to creep forward cautiously.	करन
	When he saw the drum, he realized that it was only the wind that was causing all the noise.	करन
	He continued his search for food, and near the drum he found sufficient food and water.	करन
	The wise indeed say, Only the brave succeed in life.	करन
	In a city called Vardhamana, lived a very efficient and prosperous merchant.	करन
	The king was aware of his abilities, and therefore made him the administrator of the kingdom.	करन
	With his efficient and intelligent ways, he kept common man very happy, and at the same time he impressed the king on the other side.	करन
	Such a person, who can keep everybody happy, is rarely found.	करन
	Later, there came a time that the merchant's daughter was getting married.	करन
	He arranged for a lavish reception.	करन
	During the reception, he ensured to provide his guests with the best of treatments.	करन
	He gave out gifts to guests to show them respect for attending to his invitation.	करन
	A servant of the royal household, who used to sweep the palace, was not invited but attended the reception.	करन
	He took a seat which was reserved for royal nobles, not meant for common invitees.	करन
	This made the merchant very angry.	करन
	He caught him by the neck and ordered his servants to have him thrown out.	करन
	The royal servant felt very insulted, and could not sleep all night.	करन
	He thought, If I can have the king to disfavour this merchant, I will have my revenge.	करन
	But what can I, a common fellow, do to harm a powerful person as him.	करन
	Thinking such, he suddenly had a plan.	करन
	Several days later, the servant was sweeping the floor near the king's bed early in the morning.	करन
	He observed that that the king was still in bed, half awake.	करन
	The servant started mumbling, Good heavens! The merchant has become so carefree now that he dared to embrace the queen!	करन
	The servant at once fell at the king's feet, O Master, I was gambling all night.	करन
	I feel drowsy for I didn't sleep last night.	करन
	I don't know what I have been mumbling, but I said anything improper, please forgive me.	करन
	The king spoke no more, but the servant knew he had sowed the seed of distrust.	करन
	The king thought, It can be true! The servant moves about the palace freely, and so does the merchant.	करन
	It is possible that the servant has seen something.	करन
	The king was troubled with jealousy.	करन
	From that day onwards, he withdrew his favours from the merchant and even forbade him to enter the palace.	करन
	One day, when the merchant was entering the gateway to the palace, he was stopped by the guards.	करन
	The merchant was surprised due to this sudden change in the king's attitude.	करन
	The servant was nearby, and mocking shouted at the guards, Ho Guards! That merchant is favoured by the king, He is a powerful person.	करन
	He can have people arrested or released or even thrown out, just like he had me thrown out of his daughter's reception.	करन
	Beware, for you may suffer the same fate.	करन
	On hearing this, the merchant understood that the servant has caused all this trouble somehow.	करन
	He felt dejected, and returned home upset over the incident.	करन
	He gave everything a second thought, and then he invited the royal servant to his house.	करन
	He treated the servant with utmost respect, and flattered him with gifts and garments.	करन
	They felt insulted, and out of compulsion I had to throw you out. Please forgive me.	करन
	He ensured the merchant, I will prove you how clever I am.	करन
	I will have the king favourable towards you, like he was before.	करन
	The servant went back home.	करन
	Early next morning, when he started sweeping the floors of the palace, he waited till when the king was lying half-awake.	करन
	When the opportunity came, he started sweeping around his bed and started mumbling, Our king is crazy, he eats cucumber in the lavatory!	करन
	On hearing this, the king was taken aback.	करन
	Have you ever seen me doing such thing yourself?	करन
	Once again the servant fell on his knees and prayed, O Master, please forgive me if I said something improper.	करन
	The king thought to himself, I have never eaten a cucumber in the lavatory.	करन
	What he mumbled about me is ridiculously false.	करन
	Surely then, what he mumbled about my trusted merchant the other morning must have been ridiculously false too.	करन
	It was improper of me to mistreat the merchant.	करन
	He wondered, After all he has been so efficient in the whole administrative system, that without him it has become slack.	करन
	Thus, having considered carefully, the king invited the merchant to the palace and flattered him with gifts, jewels and garments.	करन
	He re-appointed the merchant to his previously held position, and favoured his services as before.	करन
	The wise indeed say, One should treat one and all, even the lowest, with respect.	करन
	Once upon a time, there was a sage called Deva Sharma who lived in a temple in the outskirts of a town.	करन
	He was widely known and respected.	करन
	People would visit him, and offer him with gifts, food, money and garments to seek his blessings.	करन
	The gifts that he did not need for himself, he would sell off, and got rich on the proceeds.	करन
	And by nature, he trusted nobody.	करन
	So, he kept all his money in a bag which he carried under his arm all the time.	करन
	He would not part with the bag for a single moment.	करन
	He planned on stealing the bag from the sage, but could not think of a way to do so.	करन
	He thought, I cannot make a hole in the temple wall, or jump over the high gates.	करन
	But I can charm him with sweet words to accept me as his disciple.	करन
	Having planned so, the swindler approached the holy man with reverence, Om Namah Shivaya! I bow before Lord Shiva, the God of Destruction.	करन
	With these words, he fell on the sage's feet and said, O Guruji, Please guide me to the right path of life.	करन
	I am fed-up with life, and want to seek peace.	करन
	The sage kindly replied, My son, I will surely guide you.	करन
	You are blessed because you have come to me to seek peace at this young age.	करन
	The sage accepted the swindler as his disciple, but only on a condition.	करन
	He said, A holy man as me is recommended to spend the night alone without company.	करन
	This helps me to meditate also.	करन
	So, you will not be allowed to enter the temple at night.	करन

Once upon a time, there was a sage called Deva Sharma who lived in a temple in the outskirts of a town.

करन

He was widely known and respected.

करन

People would visit him, and offer him with gifts, food, money and garments to seek his blessings.

The gifts that he did not need for himself, he would sell off, and got rich on the proceeds.

So, he kept all his money in a bag which he carried under his arm all the time.

He would not part with the bag for a single moment.

करन

He planned on stealing the bag from the sage, but could not think of a way to do so.

करन

He thought, I cannot make a hole in the temple wall, or jump over the high gates.

करन

But I can charm him with sweet words to accept me as his disciple.

करन

Having planned so, the swindler approached the holy man with reverence, Om Namah Shivaya! I bow before Lord Shiva, the God of Destruction.

करन

With these words, he fell on the sage's feet and said, O Guruji, Please guide me to the right path of life.

करन

I am fed-up with life, and want to seek peace.

करन

The sage kindly replied, My son, I will surely guide you.

करन

You are blessed because you have come to me to seek peace at this young age.

करन

The sage accepted the swindler as his disciple, but only on a condition.

करन

He said, A holy man as me is recommended to spend the night alone without company.

करन

This helps me to meditate also.

करन

So, you will not be allowed to enter the temple at night.
