THE HUMBLE HERO OF THE BATTLEFIELD
Krishnadevaraya's generals, after a successful battle, were relaxing, with each one boasting about his achievement on the battlefield. 'It was I, who killed the enemy general's elephant. And that turned the battle in our favour,' claimed one general. 'I destroyed the enemy camp in the dead of night. Wasn't that a real achievement?' said a second one. 'I could rout their cavalry in an open combat. Mine is the most remarkable achievement!' boasted a third one. Just then, Tenali Rama entered. 'You people seem to have no idea of my achievement! Did you know that I cut off the legs of the enemy general in one stroke?' 'What!' exclaimed all the army leaders. 'Yours then must be the greatest achievement! You're the real hero!' But one of the generals was intrigued. He asked, 'Rama! Why did you cut off his legs? You should have chopped off his head, instead!' 'Well! It was because someone else had already cut off his head before I reached that place,' said Rama to their great amusement.
