Once upon a time, there lived three friends Chathur, Viswa, and Dhruva in a village. They were always interested to wander and take adventures. Chathur was very quick-witted. Viswa was good at archery. Dhruva can fly fast as a bird. They go to the forest to gather food for their family. In the village, everyone admired the three friends for their humble nature. One day the sun shined bright and the sky was clear. The three friends thought to go deep into the forest. The three friends were bold. They walked into the forest thinking to visit a new place and gather any valuables to improve their living. The forest was thick with huge trees and wild animals inhabited it. The thick green cover and cool air made them refreshing. Viswa saw a running deer and made it lie down with his arrow. The next moment they all gathered and had their tasty meal. They walked forward in search of water and found an image of a cave in the river water. Chathur heard about this cave earlier. He had previously read in an old book written by a great sage that a treasure was kept hidden inside the cave. Chathur was a shikshya of sage Kashyap. He learned many tantras and embedded himself with numerous magical spells. He knew that inside the cave, there would be numerous obstacles and saviors for that treasure. Chathur being quick-witted made a plan meticulously and told to his friends. They slowly entered the dark cave with courage. Dhruva lightened up a wooden stick to make their way. The soil under their feet was wet which indicated that water flowed earlier. They moved forward and found a point of trisection in their way. One way was found with footsteps imprints. The second was a small tunnel where only one person could go inside. The third path was dry and wide enough with tiny sun rays falling to the ground from the holes atop. They were in a dilemma to select the path. Chathur told his friends "The tiny sun rays indicate that the tunnel is heading upwards towards an exit. The second way is too narrow in which a man can't survive due to lack of air. So, the wet path with footsteps would be our way to treasure". They all started to go through the wet path. Going forward they found the skeletons of previous treasure hunters after which a big water spring appeared in front of them. Water was continuously coming out of it. When they thought to cross the water spring a great snake came out of the water hissing terrifically. Dhruva adeptly carried both his friends into the air when Viswa fired arrows at the forked tongue of the huge snake to make it calm. The snake cooled down and carried them to the other bank which opened up the way into a new place with undulated terrain covered with wildflowers. The flowers looked beautiful. As soon as Dhruva stepped into the flower path, the flowers gathered together to catch his feet trying to pinch with their horns. Chathur seeing the act dragged his friend backward. Then Viswa with a thread and arrow made a ropeway to a huge tree that was hollow in its trunk. They crawled on the rope and reached the tree trunk. The tree with its gigantic structure extended over a vast area. It looked terrific with its branches rising to enormous heights. They entered the tree trunk and saw many birds nested inside it. At that moment Chathur caught a glimpse of a rare reptile species whose presence can be found both in water and on land. They climbed the tree and traveled on the branch which ended in a crevasse of a glacier. When they stepped on the ice block, the ice blocks were broken due to their weight and dispersed. All three were drenched in the ocean water and somehow managed to float on the water with the help of ice blocks. They floated for days together and reached a small island. On reaching the island they were very hungry and went to find food. While passing a river, the stones in the water were shining brightly. the island was completely filled with diamonds, pearls, and all precious metals. The three friends were astonished to see huge wealth on that island. They felt extremely happy. They danced and enjoyed themselves like anything. They took the wealth as much as they could and went back to their home. They lived happily for the rest of their life with the found treasure.
The Jealous Brother- A short story
It was a dark night when a man walking towards his village was worried about his son. The man started after receiving an urgent message about the illness of his son. The man went from his workplace hurriedly. He took a bus to his home. But coming near to his village the bus broke down and on that dark night, he stepped out of the bus, eager to go to home, and continued his journey on foot. That night, the stars were twinkling brightly. The air breezes were very cool and made the man much more terrific. Slowly the climate turned violent with thunders. The rain started with intense air waves striking all objects to move. In those whirling winds, the man didn't stop walking toward his destiny. There were haunting noises when he passed the lake on his way. The trees with their long branches tried to catch him. His village which is known for sorcery frightens everyone at each and every point of time. The man thinking heavily, watching every nook and corner, went steadily to reach his home. The man and his friends previously executed many sorcery events for the people in the city. In search of better pastures, the man went to the city. While he was walking on the road, many thoughts of cunning people - who could cause danger to his family, started rattling in his mind. His unseen evil deeds were known to his friends only. The big merchant of his village had been searching for him for the last few days. The man on his way observed all the areas where he had done sorceries. But he didn't find any traces which could put him in danger. Then he found his brother's clothes in his path. In the near distance, the footsteps of four people heading toward his village were also found. In the last sorcery event, the man had received divine sight as a boon from the goddess and to visualize people of his wish and amazing powers. The man walking swiftly visualized his friends and his brother. Then he saw a hut that was engulfed with green trees in dark shadows. The fire in the hut was glowing brightly. His friends and his brother were jealous of his almighty powers and were conducting a sorcery event on his son. Things came into the picture so fast that feelings turned upside down. The man couldn’t believe his near people’s envy. Being proficient in the art of sorcery, he took control of the whirling winds and on that dark rainy day, he sparkled fire in his place with the help of thunders in the sky. He himself impersonated many spirits and became stronger and stronger, filled with lots of anger. The huge tree under which the man got angry was burnt into ashes within a fraction of a second. The man prepared Asta Dikbandana chakra with his mighty powers and trained spirits to catch his enemies. The spirits flew into the sky and reached the hut where his friends were conducting sorcery. The spirits tied all four people and destroyed the arrangements. The four people were made paralyzed leaving their heads active. The man visualizing the scene with his power walked to the hut. The man after reaching the hut filled with anger burnt his friends into ashes. The cunning brother requested pardon to save himself. But the man said, “Envy is evil, I will not nurture a snake to get bitten. Your cunning behavior has made you turn into my enemy”. The man turned red and burnt his brother and saved his son. The man went to his house and saw his son cured of illness.
