 The people of Hodja's area were unhappy with the verdicts given by the judge. This was because even for small offenses, cruel punishments were being handed out. Hodja hated him. Yet, when the judge fell ill and was bedridden, a servant came to Hodja's house to seek his help. This was because there was a rumour among the people that Hodja possessed some divine powers.

And so, Hodja finally expressed the resentment he had held in his heart for years.

However, just a while ago, I saw a donkey nearby who is quite plump and fleshy. Instead of me, let me bring that donkey to you," the fox pleaded. Hearing this, the lion replied, "In that case, lead the way to the donkey. I will be right behind you. Make sure you bring him before me."

 Long ago, in a place called Silbaripuram, there lived a good-hearted farmer named Shankunni. He led a very simple life, and because of his modest habits, his living expenses were quite low. His main source of income came from his coconut grove. The grove was filled with high-yielding varieties that produced excellent quality coconuts. One day, he thought to himself, "My farm has the best quality coconut trees in this entire locality. These coconuts are top-notch. I can use them, sell them, or even grow saplings from them to make more money." With a generous heart, Shankunni decided that he would give away all the coconuts that fell from the tree near the roadside to the local people for free. He wrote a notice on a wooden board and tied it to the tree with a rope: "Anyone can take the coconuts that fall from this tree." The first person who saw the sign wrinkled his forehead in suspicion and muttered, "There must be some catch here." Others who passed by ...
