Tenali Raman Short Story In English; There lived an old zamindar in a village. He was very old. Once he fell ill, he felt that the time had come for him to leave. He had three sons. He called all three to him.

When the three sons gathered to the old man, he said, "sons! I think it's time to leave. I have called you to tell me one thing. When I die, you guys dig the ground under my bed. There is something for the three of you. "

After saying this, the old man died. After he was cremated, the three sons bought the land under his bed as he said. In Khudai, he found three bowls, which were placed one above the other.


In the first bowl, there was mud, in the second there was dried cow dung and in the third, there were straws. They also got 10 gold coins. The three sons did not understand the meaning of the puzzle of three bowls and 10 gold coins. But he definitely understood that his father must have had some purpose behind doing so.

To solve this puzzle, the three decided to go to Tenaliram. Reaching Tenaliram and telling him the whole thing, he asked, “Uncle! You were a very good friend of my father. Did your father discuss anything about this with you before you die? "

"not." Clever Tenaliram replied, "But your father was very fond of puzzles. So perhaps they have said their point in the puzzle. Let me think a little longer. Maybe I can figure this puzzle out. "

The three boys sat calmly near Tenaliram and Tenaliram was immersed in thought. After some time Tenaliram's eyes shone with happiness and he said, "I know what this puzzle means?"

"So Chachaji, please tell us its meaning quickly." All three sons said.


"Then listen," Tenaliram said, "Look at the size of the three bowls. Everyone has different sizes. Through these three bowls, your father has divided his property between you three. The largest bowl shows the wealth of the eldest son. It is filled with soil, that is, all the fields of your father will get to the eldest son. The second bowl shows the property given to the middle son. There is dry cow dung in them, meaning all the cattle will be given to the middle son. The third bowl shows the property given to the younger son, in which the straws are filled, which are of golden color, that is, all the gold has come from the share of the youngest son. ”

After saying this, Clever Tenaliram became silent.

Then the three sons said, "Chachaji, one thing cannot be understood, for whom has Dad left these 10 gold coins?"

"This is my snoot." Your father did not get any work done for free. He knew that you would come to me to ask the meaning of his first key. That is why I have left my rage. " Tenaliram replied.


The three sons had found the answer to their father's riddle. He gave 10 gold coins to Tenaliram and returned.
