Story

Once upon a time, there was a country called Andan Puri. The people in this country were suffering from poverty even though they were hardworking. It is because everything they owned had to be surrendered to a more powerful country called Buragas. The harvest from their crops and all the animals they had reared were also taken from them. 

The king of Andan Puri had no idea what to do. He was very unhappy and he felt very sorry for his people who lived in such poverty.

One day, messenger from Buragas came bringing yet another demand from their king: a sack of pearl from the seven seas.

The king of Andan Puri was even more unhappy. He could not stand up to Buragas because they did not have any weapons or soldier.

Finally, he decided to disguise himself as a farmer and fisherman to help his people. When he met a fisherman, he would go along and help him to catch fish. When he met a farmer, he would go along and help him to plant and harvest crops.

But, in spite of his efforts the problem remained. One evening when the king is sitting alone looking out on the wide open sea when, all of a sudden, a gigantic fish emerged in front of him and spoke: 

“Please don’t despair, I will find a sack of pearls from the seven seas for you. Come back tomorrow and I will bring them to you.”

The king was surprised but yet very happy. When he went there the next day, sure enough there was a sack of pearls on the beach.

When the time came, messenger from Buragas collected the pearls and sailed off. However, half way back, the ship was attacked by huge shoals of all kinds of fish and it sank, drowning everyone on board.

As a result Andan Puri was now free from the control of evil king of Buragas. The strange fish continued to help the king and the people were happy that at last they could enjoy the fruits of their own labour.
