There was quite a long time ago a couple who had no kids, and they implored Paradise consistently to send them a youngster, but it was no greater than a hazelnut. Finally, Paradise heard their request and sent them a kid the size of a hazelnut, and it never grew an inch. The guardians were extremely dedicated to the little animal and breastfed and tended it cautiously. Their minuscule child was also really cunning, so sharp and reasonable that every one of the neighbors wondered over the astute things he said and did. At the point when the hazelnut kid was fifteen years of age and was sitting one day in an eggshell on the table adjacent to his mom, she went to him and said, 'You are presently fifteen years of age, and there is no hope with you. What do you mean to be?' 'A courier addressed the hazelnut kid. Then his mom burst out giggling and said, 'Whatever a thought! You're a courier! Why, your little feet would require an hour to take care of business a common individual could do in a moment!' However, the hazelnut kid answered, 'By and by, I mean to be a courier! Simply send me a message and you'll see that I will be back in close to no time.'

So his mom said, 'Great, go to your auntie in the adjoining town and bring me a brush.' The hazelnut kid hopped rapidly out of the eggshell and ran out into the road. Here he found a man riding a horse who was simply setting out for the adjoining town. He crawled up the pony's leg, plunked down under the seat, and afterward started to squeeze the pony and prick it with a pin. The pony plunged and raised and afterward set off on a hard dash, which it went on notwithstanding its rider's endeavors to stop it. At the point when they arrived at the town, the hazelnut kid left off pricking the pony, and the poor, tired animal sought after its way at an agonizingly slow clip. The hazelnut kid exploited this and crawled down the pony's leg; then, at that point, he rushed to his auntie and asked her for a brush. Coming back, he met another rider and did the return venture in the very same manner. When he gave his mom the brush that his auntie had given him, she was quite flabbergasted and asked him, 'Yet how could you figure out how to get back so rapidly?'

'Ok, mother,' he answered, 'you see, I was very correct when I said I realized a courier was the best calling for me.' His dad too had a pony, which he frequently used to take out into the fields to munch on. On one occasion, he took the hazelnut kid with him. In the late morning, the dad went to his little child and expressed, 'Remain here and take care of the pony. I should return home and give your mom a message; however, I will be back soon.' When his dad had gone, a looter passed by and saw the pony nibbling with practically no one watching it, for obviously he was unable to see the hazelnut kid concealed in the grass. So he mounted the pony and rode away. Yet, the Hazel-nut kid, who was the most dynamic little animal, scaled the pony's tail and started to nibble it on the back, irritating the animal so much that it gave no consideration to where the burglar attempted to make it go in, yet dashed straight home. The dad was highly shocked when he saw someone more odd riding his pony; however, the Hazel-nut kid descended rapidly and let him know everything that had occurred, and his dad had the looter captured immediately and put into jail.

One harvest time, when the hazelnut kid was twenty years of age, he shared with his folks, 'Goodbye, my dear dad and mother. I will set out into the world, and when I have become rich, I will get back to you.'

The guardians snickered at the little man's words, but they didn't trust him for long. At night, the hazelnut kid crawled on to the rooftop, where a few storks had fabricated their home. The storks were sleeping soundly, and he jumped on to the rear of the dad stork and bound a silk line around the joint of one of its wings, then crawled among its delicate fleece plumes and nodded off.

The following morning, the storks flew towards the south, for winter was drawing nearer. The hazelnut kid flew through the air on the stork's back, and when he needed to rest, he bound his silk string to the joint of the bird's other wing, with the goal that it couldn't fly any farther. In this manner, he arrived at the nation of individuals of color, where the storks took up their homestead near the capital. At the point when individuals saw the hazelnut youngster, they were quite flabbergasted and took him with the stork to the Lord of the Country. The Ruler was glad with the little animal and kept him generally close to him, and he before long became so partial to the little man that he gave him a precious stone multiple times as large as himself. The Hazel-nut kid secured the precious stone immovably under the stork's neck with a strip, and when he saw that different storks were preparing for their northern flight, he loosened the silk rope from his stork's wings, and away they went, getting closer home consistently. Finally the Hazel-nut youngster came to his local town; then, at that point, he fixed the lace from the stork's neck, and the jewel tumbled to the ground. He covered it first with sand and stones, and afterward hurried to get his folks so they could convey the fortune home, for he personally couldn't lift the incredible jewel.

So the hazelnut kid and his folks lived in bliss and success after this until they kicked the bucket.
