Kuvakäsikirjoitus Teksti
- Once upon a time a man sold his well to a farmer. The next day the man did not allow the farmer to draw water from the well
- I have sold you the well and not the water hence you can't draw water from the well
- Why can I not draw water from my well?
- The farmer became very sad and came to the Emperor’s court. He narrated everything to the Emperor and requested for justice.
- I would like to see the man who sold this farmer the well
- The Emperor called Birbal and handed over this case to him. Birbal called the man who sold the well to the farmer.
- Birbal, I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. He has no right to draw the water from the well.
- Why don't you let him use the water of the well? you sold the well to him
- Good, but look, since you have sold the well to this farmer, and you claim that the water is yours, then you have no right to keep your water in the farmer’s well. Either you pay rent to the farmer to keep your water in his well, or you take it all out of his well immediately
- The man understood his mistake
- I'm sorry your highness. I understand what I did was wrong
- Don’t try to cheat. You’ll end up paying for it regardless of how smart you think you are
- Moral of the story
