1. Tenaliraman and the thieves
The witty Tenali Raman was now known to all as King Krishna deva
Raya's favourite courtier and was also now known to be a wealthy
man as he received lot of valuable gifts from the king. This made
Tenali Raman an easy target for thieves.
2. What I hot
You are night it is.
right, my We will
dear. have died if
stayed in
the room.
One summer night , when Tenali Raman and his wife were relaxing in
their courtyard, his sharp eyes caught a movement in the leaves in his
garden. There was not even a faint breeze ,so Raman presumed that
there were intruders in his house. He was right - a couple of thieves
3. My dear, "I've
heard that far
too many
robberies are
aking place in
our
eighbourhood.
o let's hide our
jewels in the
well."
4. A little later , Raman and his wife came out lugging a heavy box, and
dropped it into the well. It fell with a mighty splash. They went back in
to the house , as if to sleep.
5. The thieves waited for a while and stealthily began to draw water from the
well.They hoped to empty the well and get the treasure.The whole night , the
two thieves drew water and poured it out as quietly as they could. They got the
trunk out and to their dismay found huge stones inside them.
6. They got nothing and to their dismay found nothing. By morning they were
completely exhausted and very miserable knowing that they were
outsmarted by the witty Raman.
7. I too.

Sorry. I will watering my

me from lots
of trouble
Once again, Tenali and his wife lived happily.
