The Power of Magic

It was a very hot summer.
The court of King Krishnadevaraya had gathered.
My Lord,
I would like to visit my village for a few days and stay there.
Please permit me your Majesty.
Okay,
I grant you the Permission.
But,
you must come back soon.
I will come back in 15 Days your Majesty.
Okay Tenali Rama.
But don't stay back home,
more than that.
There are a lot of important decisions
that have to be taken.
And i want you to be here at that time.
I will be back Thank you very much.
Fifteen days went by.
But Tenali did not come Back.
The King was feeling very sad.
He sent soldiers to inquire about Tenali in his village.
Meanwhile,
the courtiers had instigated the King against Tenali.
Tenali Rama came back to the court after a month.
Greetings to my Lord.
Tenali.
You told you'll be back within 15 days.
But what were you doing in your village,
for so many days?
My Lord,
during my leave,
I had been To a magician and Learned some
special magic tricks.
What kind of magic did you learn?
This is a wonderful magic.
by this magic,
I can make wells and canals disappear your Majesty.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha
Tenali,
what Is this Rubbish?
How can anyone make
wells and canals disappear?
Yes my Lord.
If all of you are prepared to come with me,
I am Ready to prove this to you.
Okay Tenali.
Let us all go then.
As you say your Majesty.
The next day,
Tenali Rama took the King,
and the other ministers,
to a village in the Vijayanagar Kingdom.
Your Majesty,
Look over here.
In this village,
there are supposed to be seven canals dug,
according to a minister's record.
I have made four of them disappear.
Now there are only three canals left.
If you want,
you can ask the minister himself
as to how many canals were dug.
The King,
understood the treachery made by the minister in building canals.
The minister bowed his head in shame.
Minister!
You Have not only cheated the people in building
canals and digging wells,
but.
You have also been untruthful
to me and the Royal Throne.
Who's There!
Arrest this minister and lock him up.
My Lord,
the minister has built the canals
properly only in the towns.
While digging the canals in the villages,
he has cheated and made a lot of money.
To Investigate this,
I had been to the villages to get some proof.
That is why I could not come back in 15 days my Lord.
You have done a very good job Tenali.
I'll make all arrangements to dig up canals and wells
in all villages immediately.
I give you thousand gold coins as your reward.
Thanks my Lord.
Children,
Every officer should do their duty sincerely.
If they misuse their power,
they will definitely be punished one day.
