Childhood Events (1)

Krishn is growing. He has started walking around the house and even outside the house. One day a Gwaalin complained Yashodaa that her son was eating soil. Yashodaa immediately came there rushing and asked Kaanhaa - "Did you eat soil Kaanhaa?" Kaanhaa said - "No" "OK, then show me your mouth, open it." Kaanhaa opened His mouth wide and showing it innocently said - "See, I have not eaten soil." As He opened His mouth, Yashodaa didn't the soil but saw the whole Universe in His mouth - numerous Moon, Suns, stars, rivers, mountains, forests, seas etc etc. Seeing all this in such a small mouth Yashoda got fainted. Krishn smiled and shut His mouth. When she came to senses, she just warned Him - "Never eat soil in future, otherwise I will beat you." Krishn shook His head smilingly in agreement with her.

Now Kaanhaa has grown a little more. He has started stealing butter in Gopee's houses with his friends - other cow-boys, so people started callingg Him "Maakhanchor". Gwaalin get happy also seeing all this, and complain also Yashodaa that "your Kaanhaa steals our butter". If they don't see Him then also they get worried, if they see Him then also they complain about Him. Sometime He steals somebody's butter, sometime He drives somebody's cow away, sometimes He break somebody's water pitcher.

Once Kaanhaa ate butter stealing from some Gwaalin's house. She saw Him  eating it. She caught Him red-handed and tied Him tightly with a pillar and went immediately to Yashodaa to complain about Him that "you used to say that my Kaanhaa doesn't steal butter from other's houses, now you come and see yourself. I have caught Him red-handed and tied Him with a pillar."

Yashodaa laughed - "I told you my Kaanhaa is not like that, He has enough butter in His own house, why should He steal your butter?" The Gwaalin said - "You come yourself and see Him." Yashodaa said smilingly - "But why should I go there to see Him when He is right here with me." Gwaalin was surprised to hear this. When she went inside, she saw Kaanhaa eating His food. Kaanhaa smiled at her. She was astonished to see this. If this was Kaanhaa, then who was He to whom she tied with her pillar; and if that was Kaanhaa then who is He?" 

So she ran immediately towards her house to check, but to her amazement she found Kaanhaa tied with the pillar smiling at her in the same way. She got satisfied to see this. She again went to Yashodaa's house but again found Kaanhaa eating His food there. Now she got perplexed and got unconscious that how Kaanhaa could be at two places.
