Answers
Answer:
King Sri Krishnadevaraya had a special garden where he grew a variety of rare brinjals. These brinjals were known to be quite tasty and found only in the royal garden. Therefore, the garden was guarded round the clock.
One day, the king hosted dinner for all his courtiers and served a special brinjal curry. Tenali Rama savored the curry and couldn’t forget its taste. After reaching home, he told his wife about the special brinjal curry and praised its taste. Tempted by his narration, Rama’s wife requested him to bring those brinjals home so that she could cook the dish.
Rama replied, “Dear, those brinjals are grown only in the royal garden, which is heavily guarded. How can I get them?” However, his wife insisted on tasting the curry and begged him to get those brinjals. Reluctantly, Rama agreed. night, Rama sneaked into the king’s garden and plucked a few brinjals. His wife was delighted to see the brinjals and cooked the curry. She wanted their six-year-old son to taste it too.
To this, Rama said, “Dear, I can understand your motherly love, but do not make such a mistake; we will be in trouble if he tells anybody about the tasty brinjal curry.” However, her motherly affection would not allow her to eat alone without serving the curry to her son, who was sleeping on the roof after finishing his homework.
