The Wolf and Lamb
by Bishal Thapa, Access Kathmandu
A wolf was once drinking water at a stream. And lower down the same river a lamb too was drinking water. The wolf saw the lamb. At the sight of the lamb the wolf became greedy. Its mouth began to water.
So it went to the lamb and said angrily, how dare you to dirty the water that I am drinking. The little lamb was very frightened. It said meekly,” Pardon me sir. How can I make the water dirty for you? It is running from your end towards me.”
The lamb was right and the wolf knew it. But the wolf wanted to carry on the fight. The intention was to kill the lamb. So it said, “You rascal call me names last year. I will not spare you for that” .The little lamb was trembling with fear. But it gathered courage and said, “Sir, I was not even born last year. I think you are being mistaken.”
At this the wolf flew into a rage. It said well! If you were not born then surely it must have been your father or mother who said so. Saying this he pounced on the lamb and killed it.

Long ago there was a son and his father. They lived in a village. The father’s name is Hariram and the son is Hari. They were very poor. In the name of property, they had a small hut. They led their life by doing hard labor. In that state there was a law. That law was to take old people to jungle who couldn’t work properly. If it was not obeyed by people they were given more punishment. The old people became helpless. They died in the jungle by hunger and thirst.
Hariram became old and could not do work properly. According to the law of that state, Hari took his father to the jungle. When Hariram was in the back of Hari he threw some soft branches of tree because he thought that his son has difficulty to reach home. After a long journey they reached in the center of the forest. There was a small pond of water. He made small hut there. He gave his father food which he had brought. Men he asked his father permission to return home. His father said that he had thrown branches of tree in the way. So it could be easy to reach home for him. When he heard that he couldn’t leave his father. He cried a lot because he would love his father. He couldn’t leave his father at last so he brought his father back from the jungle. He made a plan to keep his father secretly. He kept him very secretly.
After some days a Mayer of that state declared to give a prize of ash. Hari told it to his father. Then Hariram gave some ideas about it to his son. According to his father he brought wood having plain surface and he made a rope of dry straw. He hammered a nail at the end of that wood. Then he tied a rope of straw in the nail and he burnt that rope. That straw changed into ash. Then he took that wood without moving (vibrating) it. Then he gave it to the Mayer. Mayer became happy because it was the satisfactory answer. But he didn't want to give any price. Instead at price he gave him another problem. That was stick having equal round at all parts to find top and bottom. Hari told his father about the problem. His father told him not to worry. He gave idea about it. According to his father’s suggestion he tied a thread in center at that stick and sank in a well. According to his father which part sank in water first became top and another became bottom. Then he took it to Mayer. Hari gave satisfactory answer to the Mayer. Again the Mayer gave another problem to him. He had to make him a musical instrument which they could not to play at all. He told this to his father. His Father told him not to worry. Then he gave some idea about it. According to his father he brought a log and made it hollow. Then he brought animal skin and closed from both sides. In that log, he kept a bee. There was a small hole from where bee could respire but couldn’t go in and out. Then he took that to the Mayer. When Mayer took it, it vibrated. The bee inside it started to buzz. When a bee flew here and there it hit the leather and a very sweet sound of music was produced. The Mayer listened to it. Then he got puzzled. The Mayer asked about the reality with Hari. Hari thought that he was in the toughest situation of his life. He didn't want to get the prize and didn't want to tell truth. But the Mayer didn't accept. Then he thought. If he told truth he would get punishment. And he was not about to tell a lie with the Mayer. At last he told the truth. And, requested the Mayer not to punish him and his father. Then the Mayer got puzzled. He called the helper and asked about that law. The helper said that it was low from many years ago. The Mayer hadn’t known about it. Then he ordered not to take old people to jungle. He said, they were our good soldiers spread his massage to the whole state. Then Hari was married with the daughter of the Mayer. Then Hari became king. Then Hariram and Hari lived happily thereafter.
