The Roses
It was spring in Vijayanagar.
The whole Kingdom,
was filled with beautiful blooming flowers
The lakes were full of water.
The waterfalls were beautiful to look upon.
The orchards were filled with trees, bearing ripe fruits.
The birds were busy collecting their food.
The people of Vijayanagar
enjoyed the lovely spring season.
One day,
a discussion about the season,
began in the Royal Court.
A minister suggested.
Your Majesty.
Mother nature has beautified our Kingdom.
We must go out and enjoy horse rides in this great weather.
I too had the same wish.
God, has given his eyes to enjoy the beauty of nature.
Be prepared to leave tomorrow morning.
The next day,
King Krishnadevaraya,
some ministers and courtiers,
went for horse riding in the nearby woods.
Tenali Rama rode very slowly,
Just then,
the King's eyes fell upon a rosebush.
Fresh red roses
were growing and we were looking beautiful
swaying in the breeze.
The King got down from his horse.
He liked the place very much.
They look lovely.
Such beauty and fragrance.
What are they trying to say?
Certainly only one thing.
Like their fragrance has spread all over the forest,
your name and fame will spread all over the world.
This is what they are trying to say your Majesty.
Yes your Majesty.
The purity of these flowers,
is similar to your kindness.
It is because of your generosity,
that our Kingdom has failed like such beautiful flowers.
Soon,
all the other ministers and courtiers,
joined in to praise the King.
The King became very happy.
All this time, Tenali Rama
had not said a single word.
He stood looking at the rose bush.
What Tenali Rama?
Why don't you say something?
Your Majesty,
I think Tenali Raman is jealous when you are praised.
That is why he stays quiet.
Hahahahahaha.
No your Majesty.
Even I can sing praises of this beautiful roses.
And sing praises of your glory in magnitude too.
But.
Amidst these beautiful roses,
there are some thorns too.
Did you notice that?
Tenali,
what message are you trying to Convey?
Oi
Tenali!
Tenali!
What are you doing?
What are you doing?!
leave me!
Give it to me.
Your Majesty.
Please read that.
It is written by our enemy,
our neighbouring King
To Bala Singh.
Bring your King Krishnadevaraya,
To the Rose bushes often.
So that,
at this time
We can loot the kingdom.
If you act accordingly,
you will be paid half the stolen things.
Signed,
King Maarthandan.
Please forgive me your Majesty.
Please.
I have done all these mistakes for the sake of money.
What you have done is a great sin.
You have tried to cheat the Royal Throne.
Arrest him and put him in prison.
Tenali Rama.
You've opened my eyes to reality.
You've made us all understand
that our country's security,
comes much before any other pleasure.
Dear children.
wherever you may go,
beware of all that is going on around you.
Do not get trapped in any kind of situation.
