Once upon a time, there lived a pundit named Joshi. Joshi was famous in the village and considered a wise man. People used to approach him for advice on their important matters. One day, a rich man came to the Pundit and invited him to his home for lunch.
Pundit Joshi, a foodie, wasted no time and agreed to come home. When he arrived, he was welcomed by the rich man
and his family. His family consisted of his wife and daughter. His daughter
Shalu was a very beautiful girl. Pundit Joshi asked the rich man to get him
married to his daughter.
The proposal made the rich man very angry and insulted
Pundit Joshi. He said, “My daughter lives in a big home, and you want her to
marry a poor man like you. Do you think a pauper like you deserve to marry my
princess?”
Pundit Joshi immediately left the house and went to the King's
palace. Pundit Joshi knew the big secret of the rich man's fortune. He met the King and said that the rich man was corrupt, and he had seen him sell grains at a very exorbitant rate and not pay taxes. King ordered
his royal courtiers to arrest the rich man. The rich man was presented in court and was found guilty. The king punished the rich man, but as per the king's order, he could never do
any business. Pundit Joshi was rewarded with huge farmland. Slowly, the rich man had to sell off his properties to survive. Meanwhile, Pundit Joshi used the land for farming and later built a big house. In a few years, the
rich man became poor, and Pundit Joshi became rich. Thus, he took his revenge.
Moral- Never insult anyone for being small.
