The king,Krishnadevrai, was an avid horse lover. He bought many horses from the trader. All the courtiers too bought one horse each.All the while, Tenali Raman was quiet and disinterested. Seeing this, one of the courtiers asked, “Raman, why are you so silent, and wouldn't you also buy a horse?”“Vijayanagara horses are superior to these Persian horses,” Raman remarked. The king and the rest of the courtiers were surprised to hear this. King Sri Krishnadevaraya said, “How can you be so sure, Raman? Can you prove it?”“Certainly, your majesty,” Raman replied. Children, Tenali's horse was certainly not better than the Persian horses. Then, why does he take up the challenge? The king announced that there would be a horse race. A Vijayanagara horse was to be trained by Raman, and the Persian horses were to be trained by the rest of the courtiers. The race would determine which horse breed is superior.All the courtiers put in a lot of effort in training and feeding their horses. On the day of the race, the horses were lined up on the racetrack. Tenali brought his horse, which looked weak and ill-fed. Everyone laughed and said that Raman would lose the race. When it was time for the race, Raman announced he would ride the horse. Children, have you participated in a race? How did you prepare for it? He then took a long pole, to the edge of which he tied some grass.He mounted on the horse and held the pole in front of the horse so that it could see the grass, but not reach for it.When the race started, all the horses ran swiftly. Raman dangled the grass in front of the horse. The hungry horse ran for the grass, but no matter how fast it ran, it could not get hold of the grass. The horse kept running as fast as it could and came first.Everyone was astonished by what had happened. The king asked Raman, “How did you make this happen?”Raman smiled and replied, “Your majesty, the hunger to succeed is the only thing that can help anyone to succeed.”The king understood what Raman had said and rewarded him for his intelligence.Moral of the storyHave a strong urge to succeed.

Please share what it is.That's great.Well, one day, a trader came to the King and told him that he had brought with him a horse of the best breed in Arabia.He invited the King to inspect the horse. King Krishnadevaraya loved the horse; so the trader said that the King could buy this one and that he had two more like this one, back in Arabia that he would go back to get. The King loved the horse so much that he had to have the other two as well. He paid the trader 5000 gold coins in advance. The trader promised that he would return within two days with the other horses. Children, what is your guess, will the trader keep his promise?Hope you keep promises when you make them…For remember : Promise breaker is a shoemaker. Two days turned into two weeks, and still, there was no sign of the trader and the two horses. One evening, to ease his mind, the King went on a stroll in his garden. There he spotted Tenali Raman writing down something on a piece of paper. Curious, the King asked, “Tenali what he was jotting down?”“Nothing of importance your majesty,” replied Tenali hiding the paper. Children, what do you think Tenali was writing that he didn't want the King to see?Let's listen ahead to find out.Tenali Raman was hesitant to show the paper.But after further questioning, he showed the King the paper. On the paper was a list of names, the King's being at the top of the list.The King questioned, “ What is this list for/”Tenali meekly answered, “These were the names of the biggest fools in the Vijayanagar Kingdom!”As expected, the King was furious that his name was at the top and asked Tenali Raman for an explanation.Tenali referred to the horse story, saying the King was a fool to believe that the trader, a stranger, would return after receiving 5000 gold coins.Countering his argument, the King then asked, what happens if/when the trader does come back? In true Tenali humour, he replied by saying, in that case, the trader would be a bigger fool, and his name would replace the King's on the list!

An interesting tale of TenaliRama's wisdom. 

"புலிக்கு பிறந்தது பூனையாகுமா" Krishnadevaraya Tenali Ramakrishna

Tenali in Dilli Darbar is a story where Tenali Raman from a southern state of India is invited by the king of a northern state of India. Listen to the story to find out what happens.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/tenali-in-delhi-darbarSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptAt the time when Krishnadevaraya ruled over Vijayanagar, King Babar ruled over Delhi. Tenali was a famous jester in King Krishnadevaraya's royal court. When King Babar heard Tenali's tales of wit and intelligence, he wished to meet him. So he sent a messenger to Vijayangar to request Tenali to visit Delhi. With King Krishnadevaraya's permission, Tenali went to Delhi with the messenger.In Delhi, Tenali was welcomed and settled in the royal guest house. The messenger went to King Babar to inform him about Tenali's arrival. The next day's appointment was fixed between King Babar and Tenali. Babar told his courtiers, “Tenali, the great witty jester from Vijayanagar has come to Delhi. Tomorrow in the royal court none of us must smile or laugh at his jokes. I want to test him as to how he will make us laugh and win a reward.”Children, do you think Tenali Raman would win a reward?Let's listen ahead.The courtiers of Dilli Durbar promised not to smile or laugh that day in the court before the guest.At the given time Tenali also arrived in the Dilli Durbar. He told many witty tales and jokes to courtiers and King Babar, but all remained silent. No one even smiled at the jokes. This went on for not one day or two days but for 15 days.Guess what, from the sixteenth day Tenali stopped going to Dilli Durbar. Instead, he disguised himself and followed King Babar everywhere to note his daily routine. Babar used to go for a stroll by the river Yamuna with his prime minister every morning. Children, Yamuna is a famous river in India. Do you know the name of a river in your country?Nice.On the way, they would give gold coins to the poor and the needy beggars. After observing this Tenali made a plan.The next morning, Tenali dressed up as an old man. He took a spade and a mango sapling and stood by the river Yamuna waiting for King Babar's arrival. Seeing him at a distance Tenali started planting the sapling. King Babar came to him and said, “Old man, you are very old indeed. You won't live long enough to enjoy the fruits of the tree you are planting. Why are you taking so much trouble?'“Your Majesty, I enjoyed the fruits from the trees planted by my ancestors. This tree's fruits will be enjoyed by others. I find joy in giving to others. I am not planting this to myself.”The king was impressed by the reply and gave a bag full of gold coins. The old man thanked him and said, “Your Majesty you are indeed a great and kind king. People get the fruits when the tree has grown but you have given me the fruit of my labour even before I had planted the sapling. The thought of helping others has really benefited me.”“I like this thought of yours. You can now take this second bag of gold coins as a reward,” King Babar added.“Oh, Your Majesty, This tree will bear fruits once in a year only but before it has been planted you have filled my arms with fruits of joy twice.”King Babar again said, “I like your thoughts and I am impressed by them.”He gave the third bag too to the old man.Now the prime minister got worried and said to the king, “Your majesty let's leave now, this man is too intelligent. His witty remarks will claim all the royal wealth from you.”King Babar laughed and got ready to walk away. At this time the old man said, “ Your Majesty, can you give me just a look? “When Babar turned to look, he saw Tenali holding a false beard in his hands. King Babar burst out laughing on seeing what Tenali had been up to. He said, “I am pleased, Tenali. You have truly proved that you are witty and a great jester.”King Babar called Tenali to the court and gave him many more royal rewards.When Tenali returned to Vijayanagar, King Krishnadevaraya was proud to see how Tenali had saved Grace. Tenali smiled and said, “So your Majesty, I am fit for a reward from you too.”King Krishnadeva Raya agreed with a smile and gave Tenali ten thousand gold coins as a reward.

Today's story, 'Tenali, The Detective' is a story where Tenali acts like a detective. A detective needs to be observant and solve problems. Let's listen to the story to find out how Raman acts like a detective and if he succeeds or not!Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/tenali-the-detective-archiveSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptTenali Raman was once walking along a forest path when he was stopped by a merchant. “I'm looking for my camel which has strayed away. Did you see it passing by?” asked the sad and worried merchant.Children, how do you feel when you lose something? I feel the same, and so we must take care of things.So, a merchant had lost his camel and was asked Tenali is he had seen it.“Had the camel hurt its leg?” asked Raman.“Oh yes! That means you have seen my camel!” said the merchant. “Only its footprints. See, you can see footprints of an animal with three legs,” said Raman, pointing out the footprints on the ground. “It was dragging the other leg because it was hurt in that leg.”“Was it blind in one eye?” Raman asked the merchant.“Yes, yes,” said the merchant eagerly.“Was it loaded it with wheat on one side and sugar on the other side?” asked Raman.“Yes, you are right,” said the merchant. “So you have seen my camel!” exclaimed the merchant. Raman looked upset. “Did I say I saw your camel? Of course not!” “Then how did you give the exact description of my camel,” said the merchant. “I saw no camel,” said Raman. Children, how do you think Raman knew the exact description of the camel?Let's listen ahead.“Do you see those plants lined up on both sides of this path? You can clearly see, some animal has eaten leaves of plants on the left, but the plants on the other side remain untouched. So , I figured out that the animal could see with only one eye.”“Look down. You can see ants lined up on this side which means, the animal was loaded with sugar bag on this side. The bag had a hole, which allowed the sugar to fall off. That's how I know that the camel was carrying bags of sugar.”Tenali smiled and further added, “You can see grains of wheat fallen on the other side. The bag on this side also must have holes in it.”“I can see everything you showed me,” protested the merchant, ”but I still don't see my camel.” Children, any idea how Tenali would help the merchant find the camel?Let's see!“You follow this trail and soon you will catch up with your animal. After all it is hurt in one leg and you seem to be hale and hearty,” said Raman.The merchant took his advice and followed the trail left by the camel.Soon he caught up with the poor animal, limping along. “Rani!” the merchant shouted in happiness, as he ran to his camel.

Today's story, Tenali And The Three Dolls, is a story about an essential skill of observation.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/the-three-dollsSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.The great king Krishna Deva Raya had a lot of wise ministers in his court. The wisest of them was Tenali Rama. One day, a merchant came to the king's court from a foreign kingdom. He saluted the king and then said, “Your Majesty, I have heard from many people that you have very wise ministers in your court. But with your permission, I would like to test the wisdom of your ministers.”Children, could you think of how he would test the wisdom? Yaa! By giving a difficult Math problem, or solving a puzzle..)“This is a good chance for me to prove that I have the wisest of wise ministers to all the neighbouring kingdoms,” thought the king and he gave the merchant his permission. The merchant gave the king three dolls that looked identical. He said, “Though these dolls look similar, they are different in some way. If your ministers can find out the difference, I will bow to their wisdom. But if they can't, I will assume that there are no wise ministers in your court. I will be back in thirty days for the answer.”The king asked all of his ministers except Tenali Rama to assemble. He gave them the three dolls and told them to find the difference in them in three days' time. But unfortunately, none could find the difference at the end of three days.How do you think the king felt at this time? Worried, sad that nobody in his court is smart etc.The king got worried, “ This would be very humiliating. Other kingdoms will make fun of us that we don't have wise people in our kingdom.” So he called Tenali Raman. Tenali Raman reported immediately, “My honour! Your order is my command. Please tell me what to do.” The king said to him, “Tenali, I did not summon you before because I thought that this problem will be too simple. But since no one has been able to find the solution, it is up to you now and saves us from humiliation. Find the difference between these dolls.” Tenali took the three dolls and went away.Children, can you guess what was the difference between the three dolls?Difficult right?The problem proved difficult for Tenali too, but at last, after a lot of effort, he figured out the difference.Happily, he went to the court with the three dolls on the day that the merchant had to return. Then, he announced in front of the whole court that he had found the difference between the dolls.The king was worried and hoped for Tenali's answer to be correct.Tenali said, “These three dolls are different because one of them is good, one medium and one bad.” The king was pleased till the merchant asked, “ Tenali, please tell which doll is which.”Tenali Raman showed them a tiny hole that was present in the ears of each of the dolls. Then, he took a very thin wire and put it in the hole of the first doll's ear. The wire came out from the doll's mouth. He did the same with the second doll and the wire came out from the doll's other ear. In the third doll, the wire went to the heart and did not come out.Tenali Rama explained, “In the first doll, the wire went in through the ear and came out through the mouth. So, this doll is bad as it represents people who cannot keep a secret. In the second doll, the wire came out of the other ear. So, it is a medium and represents harmless people who do not understand what is said to them. The third doll, in which the wire went to the heart and did not come out, represents good people who will preserve the secret that you tell them.”The king, the merchant and all the ministers were very impressed with Tenali's wise answer.As usual Tenali Raman saved the day.Well, children, eagerness to explore and learn is the only way to expand our experiences and views! Then Tenali added another explanation, “But there can be another explanation too. The first doll represents people who gain knowledge and spread it among others, so it is good. The second doll represents people who do not understand what they are taught, so it is a medium. The third doll represents people who have knowledge but keep it all to themselves. They do not teach anyone anything and so they are bad people.

Lazy as he was, he used to nap under every possible tree that met his eyes. One day, a sage who was passing through the farm where Tenali Raman (as he was popularly known) was lazing around, called him and asked him to do any job that he pleased to earn a living. Raman told the sage that he was not educated and therefore did not get any job.He told him, “Rama, I will teach you an ancient mantra. Recite this for 1,008 times in the goddess Kali temple on the outskirts of the village. The Ma would appear and grant you wishes.”“This,” the sage told Raman, “Will help you gain the required knowledge. Once you obtain the knowledge, do not waste your time. Instead, hunt for a job and you will get it.”Tenali was excited, and the next day he went to the temple and repeated the mantra 1008 times. Lo and behold! Goddess Kali appeared with her thousand heads in front of Rama. Tenali Raman took a look at Goddess Kali and he burst out laughing, “Ha! Ha! Ha!” Durga ma curiously asked, “Hey young lad! Why are you laughing like this?"Tenali Raman could not still hold his laughter and chuckled, “Ma! When I have a cold, it is so difficult to manage one nose and one head. How do you manage with thousand noses and thousand heads when you have a cold?”Children, how do you feel when you have a cold?Let's listen aheadSmilingly Durga Ma said, “You are a very sweet and innocent boy. Come dear! I will give you a boon.”“A boon….Yes Ma. Please..P-l-e-a-s-e tell me…I can't wait!”Durga Ma got two bowls and said, “This bowl in my right hand has milk and in the other is curd. Please choose one.”Raman was in no haste. He enquired, “Ummmm… Goddess I can't choose without understanding what the milk and curd stand for. Please help me comprehend the significance of the two.”Children, can you guess what the milk and the curd stood for?Interesting Durga ma revealed, “The bowl containing milk represents knowledge, and the bowl containing curd represents wealth.”Once again, Tenali Raman thought carefully before replying. “But Ma, I do not know the taste of either the milk or the curd.”So, Goddess Durga extended both bowls to Tenali Raman, who instantly grabbed both bowls and drank the curd and the milk.Though Goddess Kali was annoyed at being outwitted, she demanded, “You little naughty child why did you drink out of both the bowls?” Raman replied politely, “Knowledge without wealth is useless and wealth without knowledge is dangerous.”The goddess was pleased with Tenali Raman's answer and blessed him, “You will have both wealth and knowledge. She further proclaimed. “You are very wise and witty. You are going to be a Vikatkavi.” a wise man who also has the talent to make others laugh and do funny things.He became the jester poet at King Krishna Deva Raya's court.Now, it's your turn.

We're still in Cooperstown on the lake and a beautiful historic barn where we meet our next guest, Tenali Hrenak. Tenali shares with us, his Wisconsin childhood growing up in those beautiful pre-Internet days when you played outside exploring nature building forts going down to the broker, the lake riding your bike everywhere kind of a life based on curiosity to the street lights came on or the where the sun went down and you made it home for dinner with the family where everybody chitchatted and talked and they weren't iPhones or iPads to distract us from the human interaction. It was in high school where Tenali got introduced to radio and he used his nickname and just called it the Tenali show and that stuck.

He said to the King, "Your Majesty, please accept this gift. My servants searched the jungles of Madhya Pradesh(a state in India) to find this exotic bird."Tenali Raman, who was in the courtroom found something unnatural about the Red peacock.Children, how do you think the peacock was all red?Let's listen ahead.He thought to himself, "How can a bird so brightly coloured, survive in the jungle? Surely it will be an easy prey for other animals. So, there is something certainly wrong here." He realized that Chatur pandit was trying to trick the king to get some gifts. The King, unfortunately, didn't realize this as he was always collecting exotic things to show off to all the kings of the neighbouring states. He looked at Chatur Pandit and said, "Thank you Chatur Pandit. How can we reward you?""Your Majesty, 100 gold coins will be enough, as I spent that to get the bird," said Chatur Pandit quickly.Tenali Raman spoke up, "Your Majesty, I think we should observe this peacock for a while before we give Chatur Pandit his reward. I will go to Madhya Pradesh to get more birds like these.""Alright Tenali Raman", said the King. "You have two weeks to bring back more birds like this one."Chatur Pandit frowned at Tenali.Tenali Raman went home. But, he did not go to Madhya Pradesh. Instead, he called his spies, and said, "Find the person who painted the peacock red."The spies searched for the painter and finally found him. They brought him to Tenali Raman.Tenali Raman said to the painter, "Don't worry, I won't punish you. Just paint another 10 peacocks the same colour.""Yes sir," replied the painter.He painted 10 more peacocks in red colour and gave them to Tenali.At the end of two weeks, Tenali Raman took the red, painted peacocks to the King.Krishna Deva Raya was pleased with Tenali. He asked the treasurer to give Tenali 1000 gold coins."Your Majesty, that is not what they cost," said Tenali Raman.The confused King asked, "So what is the price then Tenali.""A bucket of water, a bag of red paint, and a gold coin for this artist," replied Tenali Raman.The king understood the whole story and was angry with Chatur Pandit for trying to cheat him. He said angrily, "Chatur Pandit, I sentence you to...."Tenali Raman spoke, "Your Majesty, your desire for fame led you to believe a red peacock could exist. Being a minister at your court, it's my duty to let you know that for a long time, there has been needless spending on such curiosities." He added, "It is better that your subjects be prosperous, rather than a display of wealth. I request you to let Chatur Pandit go and reward the artist for showing this.""You are right, Tenali," said the King.Chatur Pandit fearing the King's anger, begged for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!""I will do so, but you are banished from the court for a month. And you must return the gifts you got earlier," said the King.The monsoon had arrived and the peacocks danced. The rains washed away their red colour.Krishna Deva Raya amused with himself, laughed and said to Tenali, "Look at these red peacocks Tenali…all the red colour is getting washed away. ! Tenali Raman.Tenali smiled.The people of the kingdom danced in the rain. And said to each other, "We are lucky to have a king who is not afraid to admit his mistake."A sorry Chatur Pandit walked home alone in the rain.Hope you liked the story. Now, it's your turn.

Let's listen to the story to find out how Raman acts like a detective and if he succeeds or not!Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/tenali-the-detectiveSend your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.TranscriptTenali Raman was once walking along a forest path when he was stopped by a merchant. “I'm looking for my camel which has strayed away. Did you see it passing by?” asked the sad and worried merchant.Children, how do you feel when you lose something? I feel the same, and so we must take care of things.So, a merchant had lost his camel and was asked Tenali is he had seen it.“Had the camel hurt its leg?” asked Raman.“Oh yes! That means you have seen my camel!” said the merchant. “Only its footprints. See, you can see footprints of an animal with three legs,” said Raman, pointing out the footprints on the ground. “It was dragging the other leg because it was hurt in that leg.”“Was it blind in one eye?” Raman asked the merchant.“Yes, yes,” said the merchant eagerly.“Was it loaded it with wheat on one side and sugar on the other side?” asked Raman.“Yes, you are right,” said the merchant. “So you have seen my camel!” exclaimed the merchant. Raman looked upset. “Did I say I saw your camel? Of course not!” “Then how did you give the exact description of my camel,” said the merchant. “I saw no camel,” said Raman. Children, how do you think Raman knew the exact description of the camel?Let's listen ahead.“Do you see those plants lined up on both sides of this path? You can clearly see, some animal has eaten leaves of plants on the left, but the plants on the other side remain untouched. So , I figured out that the animal could see with only one eye.”“Look down. You can see ants lined up on this side which means, the animal was loaded with sugar bag on this side. The bag had a hole, which allowed the sugar to fall off. That's how I know that the camel was carrying bags of sugar.”Tenali smiled and further added, “You can see grains of wheat fallen on the other side. The bag on this side also must have holes in it.”“I can see everything you showed me,” protested the merchant, ”but I still don't see my camel.” Children, any idea how Tenali would help the merchant find the camel?Let's see!“You follow this trail and soon you will catch up with your animal. After all it is hurt in one leg and you seem to be hale and hearty,” said Raman.The merchant took his advice and followed the trail left by the camel.Soon he caught up with the poor animal, limping along. “Rani!” the merchant shouted in happiness, as he ran to his camel.

Tenali and The Two Thieves is a story about Keeping cool and using your wit in dire situations can help you get out of themFree activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/tenali-and-the-three-thieves One hot summer evening, as the sun was setting Tenali Raman and his wife were walking around in their garden. As they were going inside their house, they heard the rustling of leaves coming from their beautiful garden. There was not even the slightest breeze blowing at that time, so Tenali Raman became very alert. He glanced around but couldn't see any animal scurrying around. Not finding any clue to the rustling, he presumed that the rustle of the leaves might be the footsteps of thieves. He understood that they must be planning to rob his house at night.Children, if you heard rustling leaves outside of your house, and you knew it could not be thieves, what else would you suspect it to be?That's great, it could be a mouse, a chameleon, a bird, …etc.The quick thinker that Tenali Raman was, he thought of a plan and said loudly to his wife, “My dear, I have heard that some notorious thieves are on the loose in our neighborhood. So, let's hide all the jewellery and money that we have in the well after dinner.” His wife was confused, but she knew Tenali well and went along with what he told her.A little later, Tenali Raman and his wife came out of the huge house carrying a big trunk and dropped it into the well. Then they went back inside the house and pretended to go off to sleep.The thieves waited till midnight and then started drawing water from the well. They hoped happily to empty pull out the trunk, and when they opened it, they were extremely shocked and disappointed.Children, why do you think the thieves were disappointed?Great.They were disappointed to see only some big stones in it. They understood that it was Tenali Raman's clever plan to outsmart them. Just then, Tenali Raman came out of his house and said, “Thank you friends, for watering my plants. I must pay you for your labour.”Hearing this, the thieves fell at Tenali's feet for forgiveness. Tenali let them go when they promised not to steal or rob anyone anymore.Moral – Keeping cool and using your wit in dire situations can help you get out of them.

Today's story, Tenali And The Three Dolls, is a story about an essential skill of observation.Free activity sheet available at www.rituvaish.com/the-three-dolls Send your artwork to rituvaish@gmail.com.The great king Krishna Deva Raya had a lot of wise ministers in his court. The wisest of them was Tenali Rama. One day, a merchant came to the king's court from a foreign kingdom. He saluted the king and then said, “Your Majesty, I have heard from many people that you have very wise ministers in your court. But with your permission, I would like to test the wisdom of your ministers.”Children, could you think of how he would test the wisdom? Yaa! By giving a difficult Math problem, or solving a puzzle..)“This is a good chance for me to prove that I have the wisest of wise ministers to all the neighbouring kingdoms,” thought the king and he gave the merchant his permission. The merchant gave the king three dolls that looked identical. He said, “Though these dolls look similar, they are different in some way. If your ministers can find out the difference, I will bow to their wisdom. But if they can't, I will assume that there are no wise ministers in your court. I will be back in thirty days for the answer.”The king asked all of his ministers except Tenali Rama to assemble. He gave them the three dolls and told them to find the difference in them in three days' time. But unfortunately, none could find the difference at the end of three days.How do you think the king felt at this time? Worried, sad that nobody in his court is smart etc.The king got worried, “ This would be very humiliating. Other kingdoms will make fun of us that we don't have wise people in our kingdom.” So he called Tenali Raman. Tenali Raman reported immediately, “My honour! Your order is my command. Please tell me what to do.” The king said to him, “Tenali, I did not summon you before because I thought that this problem will be too simple. But since no one has been able to find the solution, it is up to you now and save us from humiliation. Find the difference between these dolls.” Tenali took the three dolls and went away.Children, can you guess what was the difference between the three dolls?Difficult right?The problem proved difficult for Tenali too, but at last, after a lot of effort, he figured out the difference.Happily, he went to the court with the three dolls on the day that the merchant had to return. Then, he announced in front of the whole court that he had found the difference between the dolls.The king was worried and hoped for Tenali's answer to be correct.Tenali said, “These three dolls are different because one of them is good, one medium and one bad.” The king was pleased till the merchant asked, “ Tenali, please tell which doll is which.”Tenali Raman showed them a tiny hole that was present in the ears of each of the dolls. Then, he took a very thin wire and put it in the hole of the first doll's ear. The wire came out from the doll's mouth. He did the same with the second doll and the wire came out from the doll's other ear. In the third doll, the wire went to the heart and did not come out.Tenali Rama explained, “In the first doll, the wire went in through the ear and came out through the mouth. So, this doll is bad as it represents people who cannot keep a secret. In the second doll, the wire came out of the other ear. So, it is medium and represents harmless people who do not understand what is said to them. The third doll, in which the wire went to the heart and did not come out, represents good people who will preserve the secret that you tell them.”The king, the merchant and all the ministers were very impressed with Tenali's wise answer.As usual Tenali Raman saved the day.Well, children, eagerness to explore and learn is the only way to expand our experiences and views! Then Tenali added another explanation, “But there can be another explanation too. The first doll represents people who gain knowledge and spread it among others, so it is good. The second doll represents people who do not understand what they are taught, so it is medium. The third doll represents people who have knowledge but keep it all to themselves. They do not teach anyone anything and so they are bad people.
