The Clever Farmer
Once upon a time ,a farmer lived in a remote village
He had two sons and they were worked with his father. His wife wanted to see the two son's marriage. She was affected by a dangerous disease of killer.
The marriages were arranged for their sons immediately. Their mother died after the son's marriage suddenly. The Farmer was old and he gave the fields to his sons evenly. His daughters in law served him very reluctantly
He told the abuse of his daughters-in-law to his sons. But his sons heard only the words of their new wives The farmer wanted to teach a lesson for them once.
He thought that the ill use was not be continued to his sons lives
He went to the field and collected the castor seeds
And put them in a tin and covered it by clothes. When his daughters in law passed his bed seats
He jolted the tin and it made the sound of coins. The daughters in law thought that the father in-law had more currency. They competed each other and looked after him good.
