BETRAYAL
Ramdas was a poor brahmin who lived with his wife and children in a rural. He was impoverished and unable to support himself. Frequently, the family had to go hungry. He decided to flee his home because he couldn't fulfil the reRamdassponsibilities of a responsible dad.
Ramdas set out from his house one fine morning, at daybreak, and travelled all day till he found a jungle. He was exhausted and starving. He noticed a well while looking around. He reasoned to himself that he could at least drink some water to satiate his thirst. When he gazed down into the well, though, he was surprised to see a tiger, a monkey, a snake, and a man.They required assistance to get away.
When the tiger saw a man at the top of the well, he pleaded with him fervently, "Please, my brother, come to my aid. Please save me from drowning!" Ramdas was terrified when he saw the tiger in the well. "I'm not sure how I'm going to save such a wild animal as you. Without a doubt, if I save you, you will kill and devour me!"
"Don't be afraid," the tiger responded, "I will not harm you. You can trust my words."
Ramdas desired to assist the tiger. He aided the tiger in climbing out of the well by tying a rope to a nearby tree.
"My life was saved because of you. I will compensate you as soon as possible... Over there is my cave... If you need assistance, you may find me in the cave "said the tiger, pointing to a distant cave.
The monkey also wished to be rescued, and the brahmin was able to do so with ease. The monkey expressed its appreciation by saying, "I reside on that mountain, my beloved friend. Come to me whenever you're hungry or thirsty, and I'll make sure you have enough fruits!" The monkey went towards the summit, offering fruits to assist the brahmin.
After that, it was the snake's time. When Ramdas saw the serpent's hood, he was terrified. "You are a venomous snake," he said. What can I do to help you? "I don't want to perish as a result of a snake bite." "No!" the snake answered, his voice modest. I'm not going to hurt you. Please don't be frightened to assist me in getting out of this deep hole.
The brahmin also assisted the snake in exiting the well. It informed Ramdas before going, "I would be there for you whenever you are in a difficult position. Keep one thing in mind. Do not assist the man in the well. He'll get you in a lot of trouble."
When the man inside the well pleaded with the brahmin, he was about to leave "You've been so kind to the animals, brother. Why don't you, your own brother, do the same to me? "The man argued.
Ramdas, who was full of compassion and love for others, rescued the man from the well. The man added, "I'm grateful for everything," as a show of his thanks "I owe you a debt of gratitude, brother. I'm a goldsmith from a nearby town. Please feel free to come for any assistance you require."
The brahmin proceeded on his way. He travelled from job to job looking for work. All for naught! He was in a bad mood. It seemed pointless to exist without a job or a source of income. He reasoned that it was preferable to die. He recalled the tiger, the monkey, the snake, and the man, all of whom had vowed to assist him in his time of need.So he abandoned his plan to commit suicide and went to see them.
First and foremost, he went to see the monkey. The monkey followed through on its promise and handed him mangoes, bananas, oranges, and grapes. He had a full stomach. He then proceeded to the tiger's cave. The tiger greeted him warmly. It lavished several valuable ornaments on Ramdas. The brahmin thanked the tiger and went, wrapping all of his presents in a piece of cloth.
Ramdas intended to sell some of the gold ornaments and use the proceeds to return home. He was eager to meet his wife and kids. To sell the ornaments, Ramdas went to the goldsmith's residence.
The astute goldsmith devised a scheme to trick the poor brahmin. “Friend, I will undoubtedly assist you. Please wait until we test the purity of the gold before purchasing it. I'll have it tested right away.”
A foreigner had brought some omaments for sale, and the goldsmith proceeded to the king's palace to report it. Perhaps he's a thief. Perhaps he is the one who took the king's jewels.
The monarch dispatched his troops to apprehend the brahmins. Hearing the charges levelled against him, the innocent man became quite outraged. He was at a loss for what to do. He was fortunate in that he remembered the snake's words and called for aid. Ramdas pleaded with the serpent to let him out of captivity.
“Do not be alarmed. I'm going to the queen's chamber and biting her. She will temporarily lose consciousness. Only when you press your palm on her forehead will she awaken.”
The snake did exactly as he said. The queen was knocked out. The royal physicians were unable to resuscitate her. The monarch promised a large payment to anyone who could resurrect the queen. Doctors from all throughout the country tried their hardest to rescue the queen. No one was successful.
Ramdas, who was imprisoned at the time, stated his desire to heal the queen. The king demanded that he be taken to the queen's chamber. Ramdas approached the queen and softly laid his palm on her brow. Her eyelids opened as the poison in her blood began to drain.
The king was overjoyed with the brahmin, who took advantage of the opportunity to inform the king that he had been imprisoned for no fault of his own. The goldsmith was taken before the king, as he was the one who had stolen the palace's costly ornaments.
When the king discovered the truth, he imprisoned the goldsmith.
His Omamenty returned when the brahmin was set free. Ramdas returned home to his wife and children and had a happy life.
