- Who
Gives You Food-1
Long time ago there
lived a King. He had three beautiful, intelligent and well-behaved daughters
to whom he loved very much. When they came to marriageable age, the king
called all of them and asked them - "Whose luck gives you food?"
The eldest daughter said - "Dear father, I get food of your luck."
The king got very happy to hear this. Then he asked his second daughter the
same question, and she also answered the same. The king got very happy with
his second daughter also.
Then he asked the same question his youngest daughter also. She fearlessly said - "Dear
father, I get my food of my own luck." King got surprised to hear this,
he asked - "How?" The daughter said - "Dear father, Everybody
gets his food of his own luck, nobody can take food of anybody else'
luck." The king did not get satisfied with this answer, rather he got
angrier with the youngest daughter. Her elder sisters tried to convince her
"Sister, We eat food of our father's luck." But she was not ready to
agree with that and she was adamant on her statement. The King ordered his
servants to bring the first man they see next morning passing by his palace.
As the sun rose next morning, a leper boy passed by the palace in search of food. King's people
immediately brought him to the King, and the King married his daughter to
him. He did not give anything to her and sent her with that leper. Her both
sisters and mother wept bitterly for her. They asked her several time to
change her statement but she did not agree for that. Everybody was very sad
in the palace but could not do anything, and the girl went away with that
leper boy.
