Solution
The rich young man, who lived in the same town as Thiruvalluvar, was arrogant, and proud of his riches. He wasted most of his time roaming around with his friends. They often made fun of other people. The young man had heard that Thiruvalluvar never got angry, and he took this as a challenge. He tried to make him angry by reducing to rags the beautiful fabric woven by him. He became impatient and agitated when Thiruvalluvar remained calm. He then arrogantly offered to pay for the rags. However. Thiruvalluvar's softly spoken words of explanation touched his heart, and he decided to give up his idleness and bad habits.

King Krishnadeva Raya would perform heavy exercises every morning. He regularly applied oil on his body and thereafter worked out till all the oil came out with the sweat. This was followed by a long ride on his horse. Once the king started leading a sedentary lifestyle, and he stopped exercising. He no longer went horse-riding either. The king overate and as a result grew fat and heavy. The king‟s temperament also underwent a sea change. Noticing this, the royal physicians cautioned the king against the ill effects of overeating and explained to him the risks posed by obesity. They advised the king to regulate his diet, exercise, and take care of his health. The repeated advice he got from the physicians to eat less made him so angry that one day he announced a reward for anyone who could find him an easy cure. But there was one condition: those who failed would have their heads off. None dared to advise the king in this regard. The situation became precarious and as usual Tenali Raman was approached by the courtiers for a remedy. Tenali heard the problem and assured the courtiers of a viable solution. The next day, an astrologer predicted that the king had only a month left to live. When the king came to know of this, he was furious. The astrologer was ordered by the king to be imprisoned for a month so that his prediction could be put to test and so the hapless forecaster was sent to prison. |
