Sri Krishna Devaraya was the emperor of Vizayanagra. He had eight advisors. Tenali Rama was one among them. He was very clever and spontaneous. Sri Krishna Devaraya had some special kind of brinjal plants in his garden. The brinjal was very rare kind and curry made out of it was very tasty which was loved by the emperor. As it was a rare kind, the garden was very guarded and no one was allowed to view the plants without the emperor’s permission.
Once the emperor had arranged dinner for his advisors and the brinjal curry was served. Tenali Rama had enjoyed the brinjal curry very much and went home. But he was unable to forget the taste. He told his wife about the taste of curry. Tenali Rama’s wife also liked brinjal curry, she asked Tenali Rama to bring few brinjals so that she can prepare a curry. But Tenali Rama knew that the emperor was taking extreme care about the Brinjal plants and he can easily detect a missing of even one brinjal from his garden. And, the emperor will punish such thief if caught stealing a brinjal from his garden.
But Tenali’s wife pleaded him to bring a brinjal from the garden without telling anybody. Tenali Rama had no choice other than stealing a brinjal from the emperor’s garden. One night he went to the garden, jumped the wall and plucked few brinjals from the garden. By the god’s grace, no one had seen him. His wife cooked the brinjals and the curry was very tasty. Like all the mothers, she too loved her son very much and wanted to serve a brinjal curry him. But Tenali Rama asked her not to do such thing because if their son reveals to anybody that he had a rare brinjal curry, then they may get caught and get punished for stealing a brinjal from the garden.
Be that as it may, his better half did not concur. She needed to serve the curry to her child. She was not able eat the curry alone without serving her little child who was resting in the wake of getting his work done on the top of their home. She requested that Tenali Rama discover a way with the goal that their child can likewise taste the brinjal curry. Tenali Rama likewise adored his child, so he thought of a thought and with a great deal of dithering went ahead to the rooftop to awaken his tyke with a pail of water and poured the water on the tyke. At the point when the youngster woke up he said "It is sprinkling. We should go inside the house and have a supper". In the wake of going inside the room he changed the garments of his child and gave him the rice and brinjal curry for the supper. Tenali Rama told his significant other noisily that "it was raining outside, and given the kid a chance to rest in the room".
What's more, the following day, the head came to realize that couple of brinjals were absent in his garden. The Gardener who kept the tally of every vegetable and bloom found that the three brinjals were absent. It turned into a testing issue for the head and considered it important. He pronounced a reward for the individual who can get the criminal. Boss counselor Appaji speculated that exclusive Tenali Rama could do such things. Furthermore, they educated the sovereign regarding it. The sovereign sent his squires and requested that Tenali Rama come promptly. Once Tenali Rama came he got some information about the missing brinjals. At that point Tenali Rama told, "I didn't know about the missing brinjals". At that point the main consultant told "Tenali Rama was lying. How about we enquire his child".
The ruler sent his retainers to present to Tenali Rama's child. When his child came, He was asked what vegetable he had in the supper the previous evening. The youngster answered, "The brinjal curry and it was extremely great". At that point the counselor revealed to Tenali Rama that He needs to acknowledge his wrongdoing. However, Tenali Rama said his child had dozed early and he may state something which he got in his fantasy.
So the head asked the little child that "would you be able to please clarify obviously what had you done yesterday in the wake of originating from the school?"
Tenali Rama's child answered that "yesterday subsequent to originating from the school, I played for quite a while and from that point forward, I went ahead to the rooftop, got my work done, and thought about the rooftop. Be that as it may, when the rain began, my dad came and woke me up. At that point my dress was completely wet, at that point we went inside, had the supper and rested once more".
The main guide Appaji was stunned on the grounds that there was no rain at all yesterday. What's more, the environment was completely dry. So they thought the child had a fantasy and liberated Tenali Rama with no discipline. Be that as it may, later Tenali Raman came clean to the sovereign and was exonerated by the ruler for his shrewd clever thought.
