to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.



Mihir and Mahadev lived in the same village. While Mahadev owned the

largest shop in the village, Mihir was a poor farmer. Both had large

families, with many sons, daughtersin-law and grandchildren. One day,

Mihir, tired of not being able to make ends meet, decided to leave the

village and move to the city where they were sure to make enough to feed

everyone. They said their goodbyes, packed their few belongings and set

off. When night fell, they stopped under a large tree. There was a stream

running nearby, where they could refresh themselves. Mihir told his sons

to clear the area below the tree. He told his wife to fetch water. He

instructed his daughters-in-law to make up the fire and started cutting

wood from the tree himself. Now, in the branches of that tree sat a

thief. He watched as Mihir’s family worked together. He also noticed they

had nothing to cook. Mihir’s wife too thought the same, for she said to

her husband, “Everything is ready. But what shall we eat ?” Mihir raised

his hands to heaven and said, “Don’t worry. He is watching all this from

above. He will help us.”



The thief was worried. He had seen that the family was large and worked

well together. Surely they did not know he was hiding in the branches ?

He decided to make a quick getaway. He climbed down swiftly when they

were not looking and ran for his life. But, he left behind his bundle of

stolen jewels and money, which dropped down into Mihir’s lap. He opened

it and jumped with joy when he saw the contents. The family promptly

gathered its belongings and returned to the village. There was great

excitement when they told everyone how they got rich.



Mahadev thought this was a nice quick way to earn some money ! He

commanded his family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a

journey. They stopped under the same tree and Mahadev started commanding

everyone as Mihir had done. But no one in his family was willing to obey

orders. They were used to having servants wait on them – so the one who

went to the river to fetch water had a nice bath. The one who went to

gather wood for the fire went off to sleep beneath the tree. And Mahadev

only ordered everyone about, not bothering to do anything himself.

Meanwhile the thief had returned to the tree. He noticed the family

members were greedy and selfish. They would never be able to put up a

fight together. Then, Mahadev and his wife started the conversation that

they had rehearsed carefully. Mahadev’s wife said, “Everything is ready.

But what shall we eat ?” Mahadev raised his hands upwards and said,

“Don’t worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us”.



At this, the thief jumped down from the tree, knife in hand. Seeing him,

everyone started running helter skelter to save themselves. The thief

stole everything. Mahadev and his family had to return to the village

empty-handed, having lost all the jewellery and gold they had taken with

them.
