NCE APON A TIME THERE WAS A KING. HE HAD GOT ONE SON AND LATER ON HIS WIFE HAD DIED. AND EVERYBODY IN THE TOWN TOLD THE KING THAT U MARRIY aother girl. the king had married another girl. later on she gave birth to two baby boys. finally they three sons.

They studied very well. after some period of time, the king was old enough and he to his wife to be the king, and the second one would be his main minister who could have control over everyone in his kingdom excepting the new king. The third one would take care of all poultry and farming etc.

The queen's friend suggested that 'why do let the first one (who is not at all your child) be the king and your own sons as the assist and and like as a farmer and tell the king to send the first one to the forest for fourteen years, so that he would not trouble anyone.'

The queen's reply to the king's request was as same as her friend suggested. Now the first son was sent to the forest for fourteen years and the other two became in charge of all the things and also were the king.

When they came to know that their mother had purposely done this for their sake with her friends advice they just threw her out. they said 'who needs such a mother'. Then they got the first son back to the city and made him the King, they also accepted what they had got as their posts.
