DREAMS CANNOT BE TRUE

One day the king of vijayanagr

,Krishnadevaraya had a strange dream.He saw
that he was floating in a pond he could see a
large and magnificent lotus made of all precious
metal ,expensive stones and gems .This was a
unique dream and the king ws extreamly happy
to see the lotus in his dreams.

When the king woke up he remembered the

dream vividly .That day in his court he
described his dreams and announced ,”within
seven days I want someone to bring the lotus of
my dream to me.”The courties tried to convince
king but in vain.The king roared ,”you will
bring the lotus or else I will not spare you .”

The ministers in the court now went up to

Tenali Raman and requested him for a solution
.The next day an old woman came running to
the king .The guards tried to stop her but the
king ordered that she should be allowed to see
him .The old woman said to the king ,”All my
treasures have been stolen and now I am
completely penniless .I don’t know how I will
spend the rest of my life .”The king asked ,”do
you know who stole the treasures ?tell m his
name and I will punish that person instantly
.”The old women said ,”My lord,I known the
person who stole the treasures , but I will only
tell you his name if I am pardoned.”

The king assured her and the women continued

,”last night in my dream I saw that you have
entered my house with your soldiers and have
plunderd everything .”Hearing this, the king
smiled and said,”But this is only a dream.How
can I enter your home and take away your
belongings ?”Just then Tenali arrived on the
scene and said,”This is possible My lord !if your
lotus can exist , why can’t the dream of the lady
turn out to be true ?” Once again the king
realized that ha was wrong and admired
Raman’s presence of mind.
