A CLEAN SOLUTION
One day, Tenali Rama was on his way to his landlord's house to collect some money from him. He happened to step on a cow-dung heap on the road. He rushed to the nearest pond to wash his foot. The landlord stopped him. 'Rama! That's my pond. You can't wash your dirty foot in my pond, nor can you enter my house with your dirty foot. If you want money, better cut off your dirty foot and then come in!' Rama understood that the landlord was actually evading to oblige him. He went home quietly. Rama had many flowers in his garden. He had dug a deep pit beside the plants and filled it up with cow-dung and dry leaves. One day, the landlord was walking along the road, when he noticed Rama's garden. On seeing him, Rama asked him to come in so that he could look at the flowers from close quarters. The landlord came in. While admiring the flowers,he did not notice the manure pit. He fell into it neck deep. Rama immediately went in and came out with a sword. 'Sir! You can't wash the muck on your body in my pond, nor can you enter your house like this. If you'll allow me, I can cut off your head, so that you can go home leaving your dirty body here.'
