thousand gold coins and a handful grain

thousand gold coins and a handful grain

A long time ago, there lived a beautiful woman called Vidyullatha in Vijayanagar. She


One day, because of her pride and arrogance about her abilities, she put a hoarding outside her house that said, “A reward of one thousand gold coins would be presented to those who would be able to defeat me in humour, wit and knowledge of ancient texts.”

This became an issue of prestige for all the scholars in the region. Many of them took up the challenge and tried to defeat Vidyullatha in the war of words, but none succeeded.

Days passed like this. One morning, a vendor happened to pass by her house selling firewood. The man was shouting at the top of his voice, “Firewood ..strong firewood….Who wants my strong and long lasting firewood?”

The vendor had a shrill voice and was shouting continuously which irritated Vidyullatha. She stormed out of the house and called the vendor, “Oh vendor! Come here! I will buy
your firewood. Just tell me how much do you

The vendor said, “I need a handful of grain, Madam. Have you understood me clearly?”




The vendor said, “This is no nonsense. I told you the price and you agreed for it. Now if
you cannot pay the price, you must give me one thousand

irewood. I agreed to give him that but he keeps saying that I do not know what it means and wants me to wipe off the board in front of the house. I plead for justice!”
