Seven at One Blow
Once upon a time, there was a young boy named Gopal. He liked jalebis very much. One day, he bought some fresh jalebis. He put them in a dish. After a while, he saw flies buzzing over the jalebis. “Go away, dirty flies.” He shouted, but they didn’t. He killed seven flies at one blow. He said to himself, “Wow! Seven at one blow! I am very brave.”
The king heard about Gopal. He called him and said, “Gopal, you are a brave boy. Did you really kill seven at a blow ?” Gopal said, “Yes, Your Majesty, I did.” The king said, “You know, there are two cruel giants in our kingdom. They trouble people. There is no one to catch or kill them.”
Gopal asked, “Did anyone try to catch them before ?” The king replied, “Yes, many people tried, but they failed. You are brave. You killed seven at a time. The giants are only two. Kill them and I will give you a rich reward.”
Gopal knew he was not able to catch or kill the giants. But the king and the people had high hopes from him. He thought for a long time. Then he went out in search of the giants. He wandered here and there. He roamed in the mountains and valleys, but he failed.
After some days he was going through the forest. He saw the giants there. They were under a tree. Gopal was scared. He said to himself, “Oh, the giants are really huge. They look cruel, too. The task is really tough. I can’t fight with them.”
He thought for a while. “I will try,” he said to himself. He threw some stones at them and hid himself behind a tree. One giant got up and asked the other, “Did you throw stones at me ?” The other replied, “No, I didn’t.” “You did it,” he shouted, “Why did you throw stones at me ?” The first giant replied, “I did not do anything. You threw the stones at me.” They began to fight. They fought fiercely and killed each other.
