Tenali Raman Story: Stunning Golden Mangoes for Kids

Once upon a time in a colorful kingdom called Vijayanagara, lived a clever and funny man named Tenali Raman. He was known far and wide not only for his quick wit but also for his kindness and bravery. Today’s story is about how Tenali Raman helped solve a puzzling problem using his smart thinking, with a little help from some stunning golden mangoes!

The Stunning Golden Mangoes Appear!

One sunny morning, the air was filled with the sweet smell of ripe mangoes. The mango trees in the king’s garden were blossoming, and among them stood one very special tree. This tree grew stunning golden mangoes that shone like tiny suns hanging from its branches. Everyone in the palace was amazed by their bright golden color and delicious fragrance.

King Krishnadevaraya loved these mangoes very much. He thought, “What if I make a special feast with these golden mangoes? It will be the most wonderful celebration in all the lands!” The king called his ministers, but there was a problem—the golden mangoes belonged to the royal garden, and only the king was allowed to touch them.

The Curious Theft of Golden Mangoes

One day, the king noticed something very strange. The stunning golden mangoes were disappearing! Every morning, a few golden mangoes were gone, even though the garden gate was locked. The king was puzzled and a little worried. “Who could be taking my precious mangoes?” he wondered aloud.

The royal guards looked everywhere but found no clues. The king decided to call upon his wise friend, Tenali Raman, to solve the mystery.

Tenali Raman’s Clever Plan with the Golden Mangoes

Tenali Raman arrived at the palace, his eyes twinkling with excitement. He listened carefully as the king explained the problem. Then Tenali smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I will find who is taking the stunning golden mangoes.”

That night, Tenali asked the king to let him stay in the garden by the mango tree. The guards made a cozy little tent for Tenali, and he sat quietly under the golden mango tree, watching and waiting.

As the moon rose high, Tenali saw a shadowy figure creeping toward the tree. It was the royal gardener! He was carefully picking the golden mangoes, one by one, hiding them under his cloak.

Tenali clapped his hands softly. The gardener was caught! But instead of being angry, Tenali asked him kindly, “Why are you taking the golden mangoes, my friend?”

The gardener looked down and said, “Sir, I love these mangoes very much. But I must take some home to my hungry children. They have no mangoes to eat.”

The Lesson of Sharing Stunning Golden Mangoes

Tenali thought hard. Then he smiled brightly. “Why don’t we share the mangoes with everyone? The stunning golden mangoes should bring happiness to all, not be kept in one place.”

He told the king about the gardener’s family and his idea. King Krishnadevaraya was touched by the gardener’s love for his children. So he said, “Let us share these golden mangoes with all the people of Vijayanagara during the festival of mangoes!”

The Festival of Golden Mangoes

The day of the festival arrived, and the palace garden was decorated with colorful flowers, lanterns, and ribbons. People from every corner of the kingdom came to join the celebration. Tenali Raman told funny stories, and children laughed under the shimmering golden mango tree.

Buckets of stunning golden mangoes were given to families, and everyone tasted the sweet and juicy fruit. Even the royal gardener’s children smiled wide as they finally enjoyed the mangoes they had dreamed of.

The king said, “Thanks to Tenali Raman, we have learned that sharing brings joy not only to others but also to our hearts.”

What We Can Learn from the Story

And so, dear children, the tale of Tenali Raman and the stunning golden mangoes teaches us an important lesson: sharing with others makes the world a kinder, happier place. When we open our hearts and share what we have, just like the golden mangoes, we spread sunshine and smiles everywhere.

So, next time you see something wonderful, remember Tenali Raman’s story and think about sharing its joy with your family and friends. Goodnight, little dreamers, and may your dreams be as bright as golden mangoes hanging on a magical tree.
