Mangal and His Rope Trick

Mangal-and-His-Rope-Trick

Once Tenali’s old friend Mangal and his family were on their way to attend some function at Tenali’s house. On the way to Tenali’s village they came upon a huge banyan tree and decided to rest under it for a while. Mangal did not want to stay idle so he decided to make a rope. He sent all his family members for an individual tasks. When he had got all the materials he needed, Mangal sat under the tree to make the rope. Now there was a giant living on the tree. He had been observing Mangal and his family ever since they had camped under his tree. He wondered why the man was making a rope. Finally unable to contain his curiosity, he got down and asked him. Mangal concealed his fear and kept on working. Looking defiantly at the giant he said he was making the rope to tie him. The giant was shaken. Though big he was timid at heart. He fell at Mangal’s feet and begged for mercy. “I’ll make you rich,” he said, and digging up a chest of treasure, gave it to him. Mangal was overjoyed. He then continued his journey to Tenali’s village.
