Ramanatha was the son of a rich landlord. He father left him large tracts of land when he
died. But Ramanatha did not spend even one day looking after his land. This was because
he had a funny idea, that there existed a magic potion which, if touched to any object
turned it into gold. He spent all his time trying to learn about this potion. People cheated
him often, promising to tell him about it, but he did not give up. His wife Madhumati was
tired of this and also worried because she saw how much money Ramanatha was
spending. She was sure that soon they would be left paupers. One day, a famous sage
called Mahipati came to their town. Ramanatha became his follower and asked him
about the potion. To his surprise, the sage answered, ‘Yes, in my travels in the Himalayas,
I heard how you could make such a potion. But, it is a difficult process.’
‘Tell me!’ insisted Ramanatha, not believing his luck.
‘You have to plant a banana tree and water it regularly with your own hands. In winter,
the morning dew will settle on its leaves. You have to collect the dew and store it in a
bottle. When you have five litres of dew, bring it to me. I will chant a secret mantra,
which will turn it into the magic potion. A drop of this potion will transform any object
into gold.
Ramanatha was worried. ‘But winter is only for a few months. It will take me years to
collect five litres of dew.’
‘You can plant as many trees as you want. But remember, you must look after them
yourself and collect the dew with your own hands.’Do you think the sage was wise? Justify your answer.
