Explanation:
Once upon a time, there lived an old woman in a kingdom ruled by a beautiful queen. The old woman had four sons who always fought with each other and whose wives were also unkind. They all lived in the same house but, because they argued so much, everyone had separate kitchens.
The old woman was sorrowful as she wished that they would be able to live as one big happy family, helping each other. She threatened to throw them out of the house if they could not learn to live as a united family. To save money, she told her sons and their wives that they would only be able to use one kitchen. She hoped that this would mean that the wives would learn to live in harmony with each other. The sons were also fed up with the situation and agreed to their mother’s command.
As the old woman was poor, the sons all gave their daily earnings to their mother. One day the youngest son went to find work in the city, but he had no luck. He saw a dead snake as he was returning home that evening and decided he would pick it up to take something back to his mother.
When the old woman asked for his earnings, he told her that he had been unable to find work that day and gave her the dead snake instead. She advised her son to try again the next day. However, she knew that the snake would not make a good meal, and so she threw the dead snake onto the roof of her mud house.
On that same day, the queen of the kingdom had travelled to a beautiful pond to take a bath. While she was there, she removed her expensive diamond necklace and left it on the bank. An eagle had appeared overhead. The eagle had been attracted to the shining necklace and swooping down, clasped it in its claws and flew away.
The queen was so upset as losing her necklace that she had it announced throughout her kingdom that whoever could find it would receive a reward.
After flying for a while, the eagle saw the dead snake on the old woman’s roof. Realising that it could eat the snake but not the necklace, the eagle left the diamonds there and took the dead snake instead.
The next day, the old woman went up to her roof to put some clothing to dry in the sunshine when she spotted the necklace. She understood that this was the queen’s stolen necklace and that the queen desperately wanted it back.
It happened that the festival of light known as Diwali was in two days. At that festival, everyone lights oil lamps and candles to appease the goddess of wealth. The old woman made a plan. She went to the queen’s palace and asked the guard if she could see the queen. When the queen saw her necklace, she was pleased and promised to give the old woman a large sum of money.
