Lost History

For many days
Tenali Raman did not attend the Royal Court.
King Krishnadevaraya was worried about him.
He was missing a close friend,
and advisor,
whose help he always needed.
Then the king thought,
that maybe Tenali Raman was ill.
So the king sent a man to find out about Tenali.
Your Majesty.
I had gone to Tenali Raman's house.
His wife told me that
he has been going on me early in the morning
every day.
She has no idea where he goes.
Hearing this,
King Krishnadevaraya grew thoughtful.
Ask Tenali Raman to present himself
tomorrow in the Royal Court.
if he doesn't,
he will face severe punishment
I will do as told your Majesty.
The next morning,
Tenali Raman was present in the Royal Court.
What is the cause for your long absence
from the Royal Court?
Will you come only if I send a soldier to call upon you?
My Majesty,
look at the brand new garments that Tenali Raman is wearing.
It seems,
that he has used
illegal measures to earn this money your Majesty.
Tenali Raman got up from his seat,
and carefully took out a velvet covered book.
He presented the book to the king.
Tenali.
Why did you get this book from?
Your Majesty.
I came to know that a cunning person
had secretly taken this book.
I had to look for him everywhere,
and this has taken me such a long time to find him out.
I have brought back this book to the Kingdom
without his knowledge.
Thank you Tenali.
For recovering the lost history of this Vijayanagara,
I present you with thousand gold coins as your reward.
The minister and all the others,
kept looking at Tenali with jealous eyes.
Dear children.
You reap what you sow.
So try to be good
in all your deeds,
and you will definitely be rewarded.
