TREASURE IN WELL
One day Tenali Rama and his wife were relaxing at home. They heard leaves rustling. 'There seems to be some movement in the garden,' he whispered. 'Could be some intruders!' He then raised his voice. 'Recently there were robberies in our neighbourhood. Come on, let's hide our jewellery in the well.' Rama and his wife went inside, and soon came out with a heavy box, and dropped it into the well. 'PLOMP!' Rama caught hold of his wife's hand and said, 'We can now sleep peacefully.' Of course, they were seen going inside by the two thieves hiding in the garden. They walked up to the well, and began drawing water and pouring it into the compound as quietly as they could. By daybreak the two were dead tired. They sat leaning against the wall of the well. Tenali Rama came out and went towards them. 'You seem to have taken a lot of pains in watering my garden. How much shall I pay you?' He opened a money bag he had brought with him. The thieves were smitten with guilt. 'Please forgive us; we promise not to go a-thieving in future.' They fell at his feet. 'I'm glad you learnt a lesson. For your information, the box contained only rock pieces and stone!' said Rama.
