The Golden Goose
svarn hans ek samay kee baat hai, teen bhaee rahate the. unaka kaam lakadee kaatana tha. sabase chhote ko simpalatan kaha jaata tha.
ek din jab simpalatan jangal mein gaya to usakee mulaakaat ek baune se huee. bauna bahut bhookha tha. usane simpalatan ke bhaiyon se khaana maanga tha lekin donon bhaiyon ne baune ko mana kar diya tha.
simpalatan dayaalu tha aur usane baune ko kuchh bhojan diya. bauna bahut aabhaaree tha, isalie usane simpalatan ko ek rahasy bataaya. “main tumhen ek rahasy bataoonga. nadee ke paas bade puraane ped ke paas jao aur use aadha kaat do. andar tumhen kuchh aisa milega jo tumhen ameer bana dega.”
simpalatan ne vaisa hee kiya jaisa use bataaya gaya tha. jab usane puraane ped ko kaata, to usake andar sunahare pankhon vaala ek hans tha! simpalatan apane nirdayee bhaiyon ke paas ghar vaapas nahin jaana chaahata tha, isalie vah chala gaya aur aaraam karane laga
ghar. usane vishraam grh ke maalik ko sone ka pankh dekar bhugataan kiya.
rest haus ke maalik kee teen betiyaan theen. unhonne sunahare hans ko dekha aur teenon ne phaisala kiya ki jab simpalatan so jaega to ve hans ko chura lenge.
raat ko ek-ek karake teenon betiyaan hans churaane aaeen lekin ek majedaar baat huee. jab unhonne hans ko chhua to ve usase chipak gaye!
jab simpalatan utha to vah hans ko lekar apane raaste chala gaya. use hans se chipakee teenon betiyon par dhyaan hee nahin gaya. teenon betiyaan hans aur simpalatan ke peechhe-peechhe chalee gaeen
