14. THE TWO BROTHERS AND THE KING’S TURNIP
#Inspirational Moral Stories
There once lived two
brothers; one being rich and powerful, while the other
one was very poor
and raised turnips. One of his turnips grew very huge. He
would have needed
scores of guests to finish eating it. If he sold it, the price
it would fetch would
not cover the cost of taking it to the market. After
thinking hard, he
decided to gift it to the king. The king was delighted and
was sure this rare
turnip must be priceless. In return, the king gave him plenty
of gold! When the
rich brother heard of this, he wondered what the king
would give in
exchange of a truly precious gift. So, he presented a casket full
of valuable jewels
to the king. To reward the rich brother, the king parted
with his most prized
possession: the turnip given to him by the other brother!
