Once Upon A Time There Was A King. His Only Pride Is Who Is Our Partner In This Country.

Young, Well-Educated, Knowledgeable. There Is No Youth In The Country Who Has Equal Strength And Courage To Him.

Besides, He Was The Richest Man In The Country, Was He Not The King Of That Time.

One Day While Strolling In The Park, He Said To His Old And Wise Minister.

“Cursed That No One Should Ever Boast In Front Of Me. Am I Not Superior To All In Every Way?” The Old Minister, Who Usually Supports Everything His Young King Says, Said Nothing That Day.

Didn't Even Crack A Smile. The King Was Surprised. "Why Are You Idle Minister?" He Asked.

At Once He Said With A Smile, “My Brother, You Cannot Be So Sure That If You Tell What You Have, No One Will Brag In Front Of You. It Is True That You Are Superior To Everyone Else In Anything. But It Is Possible That There Are Some Who Do Not Realize This. Every Man Has Some Pride. We See That Even A Boy Thinks Of Himself As A Great Hero! Therefore, At Some Point, Someone, Not Knowing Your Greatness, May Be In Awe Of You. Then The Beauty Of Knowledge Is To Ignore Him .

While The Minister Was Speaking, A Small Squirrel Jumped In Front Of Them And Jumped On A Marble Pillar. It Held Up A Coin Held In Its Forelegs To The King And The Minister.

The King Was Amused. The Squirrel Saw His Smile And Sang:

Look, Look, Look At My Money, Does Anyone At The Bar Have That Much? Look At Him, Look At The Jealousy, Look At The Longing In His Eyes.

The King Angrily Rushed At The Squirrel. Before The Minister Could Say Anything, The Squirrel Ran Away.

But In The Running, The Coin Was Dropped. Taking The Coin And Putting It In His Bag, The King Looked At The Minister And Smiled With Satisfaction.

The Minister Said Nothing. That Evening The King And The Minister Were Discussing Important Issues With Ambassadors From Neighboring Countries. Suddenly A Squirrel's Voice Was Heard From Above.

King Ketu Ichelvam Serukum, I Will Say Aloud, I Am A Servant Of Money! Said.

Immediately The Blood Boiled And The King Had To Restrain His Anger In Front Of The Distinguished Guest. The Eagle Jumped From Pillar To Post And Sang Its Song.

The Messengers Also Heard The Squirrel's Voice, But Were Unable To Laugh Or Say Anything Because The King Would Be Angry.

After The Guests Had Gone To Their Rooms, The King Looked All Over The Palace For The Squirrel. It Is Not Available.

He Lost His Composure Due To Rage And Was Unable To Sleep That Night.

It Is The Custom Of The King To Start The Day By Giving Alms To The Poor. The Next Morning While He Was Giving His Alms, The Squirrel Appeared At The Door And Began His Poem.

Take Pride In Begging, It's My Money To Beg.

“Catch That Squirrel!” The King Sent The Guard. Again The Squirrel Flew Away. The King Also Had To Suppress His Anger Again.

A Few Hours Later, When The King Left For Lunch, The Little Squirrel Peeped Through The Window And Squealed.

Oddly Enough, Oddly Enough, With Whose Money The Mind-Blowing Vendan Bandi Will Have Pleasure In Himself, Will Delight In Thought, Will Delight In Thought!

The King Throbbed With Anger. A Handful Of Rice Did Not Go Inside. His Servants Ran Around To Catch The Squirrel.

It Also Disappeared Magically. Night Came. The King Left To Have A Good Dinner At Least. Again The Squirrel Appeared Before Him And Sang The Same Song As It Had Sung During The Day.

Alas, The King Did Not Know What To Do. He Took The Squirrel's Coin From His Pocket And Threw It Beside It.

Did The Squirrel, Who Endured It, Go For Nothing? A Song Sung:

May The Mighty Wear Victory For Me, The World Rejoices, The World Rejoices; The King Gave Back The Wealth And Feared The Strength Of The Little Squirrel!

The King Immediately Chased The Squirrel Like A Madman. Again The Squirrel Disappeared Magically. Again, The Night King Could Not Sleep, And All Night The Words Of The Squirrel Circled Around His Mind And Satirized Him.

In The Morning, The King Called The Minister And Said, “I Think We Can Order Our Army To Destroy All The Squirrels In The Country. There Is No Other Way.”

Then The Old Minister Said, “Sir, I Understand Your Anger. But What Is Certain That Our Soldiers Can Kill All The Squirrels? There Are Millions Of Them In Our Vast Fields, In The Dense Forests Where No Man Can Enter, And On The Mountain Tops.

And What About Squirrels Needing A Government Permit To Enter Our Country? Teams From Neighboring Countries Will Come! Our Soldiers Are Heroes In Battle; But If You Fight A Squirrel, How Will It Be For Them?

Then, If Only That One Squirrel That Mocks You Escapes, Will All Our Efforts Be In Vain? What Will Your People Say? What Will Future Historians Write? “Once Upon A Time There Was A King Who Led An Army Against Squirrels!” Won't Tomorrow's History Students Laugh When They Read That?" He Said That.

"Then What Will I Do?" Said The King. “Lord, Do Not Respect The Squirrel. If You Had Ignored It When It First Appeared In The Garden, Or Simply Listened To Its Vain Boasting Without Getting Angry, You Would Not Have Been So Angry. However, One Can Change One's Attitude At Any Time.” Said The Minister.

After A While The Squirrel Came Back To The Side, Frightened And Sang The Same Song That The King Had Returned His Property. Now The King Was Not Disturbed.

He Smiled Softly And Said:

The King Of The World Does Not Have The Knowledge And Money Of Strong Squirrels! Azhi Shuk Is Big In The World, The Chicken Egg Is Big, Big!

Now The Squirrel Looked At The King In Astonishment And Surprise. The Flow Took Place Without Speaking. Then He Never Showed His Head.
